on my LC475 ( a 68040 chip at 25MHz), i am getting real beeb speed. i didn't
think it was possible. just for the record, i'm using C, one huge SWITCH loop
and NO function calls. my 64K of memory is one huge pointer array of unsigned
integers (there is a good reason why it's not chars...). i found GOTOs very handy
(ugh i hear you cry).
