		Obviously, you don't know about the existence of the nex-gen
		860 which has 16K of data/instr cache. There are some other
		instr enhancements like 'pfld.q' to make use of full b/w.

		To get peak performance, you have to program most uP in 
		assembly language. There is no doubt that the i860 pipeline
		is hard to follow, but once you get the hang of it, its fairly
		easy..............
