I see your point.  Another point is, this hardware could take several 
clocks to do the job, say 4.

I only see one multiplier close enough to a binary digit to do with a 
shift:

  http://www.fourcc.org/index.php?http%3A//www.fourcc.org/fccyvrgb.php

The remaining 6 multiplies fit easily into two multipliers, with only 
one of them being a multiply by a constant.  So in the light of day, 
this doesn't look like much hardware at all.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, do you have an idea what percentage of the 
3S2000 gates are needed for each 8x8 = 8 multiplier?

Daniel
