AutoXA survives a warm reset and configures the ram before the system
boots, allowing it to boot into fast ram. SetXA is run every time you boot
and results in the system booting into chip ram. The difference is quite
considerable - with autoXA Workbench reports around 1.9 megs of chip ram
free after booting, with setXA it's down to around 1.6.
