- No! That would require a ROM update each time the CPU is updated. And
- the benefit is neglectible: I estimate the amount of not time-critical
- ROM code to be more than 95%. And in the rare cases where CPU-related
- fine-tuning is advisable, automatic solutions (let the ROM code decide
- by itself which version of a routine it wants to run or have some init
- routine set it up accordingly) are superior. Such things already have
- to be done for things like GetCC().
