About SSPToFast:
This tiny program moves the supervisor stack to fast memory, increasing
performance on systems with no autoconfig mem. The standard configuration
for these systems is to keep the supervisor stack in chip memory because
at the time ExecBase is construction no fast memory is available.
To use this program, just put it somewhere in your startup-sequence. It
will allocate 4K of supervisor stack backwards from the fast memory and
relocate the supervisor stack to this location.
You should NOT use this memory if the SSP is already placed in the fast
memory, or if no fast memory is available. You might check this, for example,
with COP in this archive. (-;
4K of fast mem is wasted in the first case; in the second case, the program
just fails with a return code of 25.
So long,
Thomas
P.S.: My licence applies even to this tiny program, yes...
