You are right. I am sorry I confused some people with my original statement.
I knew that code within the same 256-bytes segment executed faster and I
assumed that was because of some primitive form of caching.

Is it possible to replace the internal memory of the turbo R with faster
ICs and then decrease the number of waitstates?
