In a single instance? Wow!  That would be nearly 100 times what I need 
for this. It would also be one heck of a pile of hal code! Pages of 
setp's or...

Humm, I also need a scale function that runs on s32's. What we have runs 
on floats. OTOH, an s32-to-float in front of the whole chain, and a 
float-to-s32 at the output would work, but the execution time of all 
those floats in the middle might be a hurt on the pi.  Ideally, all this 
should run only if conditions have changed, but I've no clue how to 
write an if/else/else/else/end in hal.

As I had planned. But no progress yet, honeydo stuff in the way. ;)

So I have noticed. :) If its low in execution time, and you wrote it, so 
you understand it intimately, why not? ;-) I tend to look for less 
complex bits and pieces I can stack up in the right sequence.
