I've read that the Dragonball (68k-compatible) processors use a 16-bit data bus. So, operations on 32-bit data would require twice as many transfers between the processor and memory (compared to using 16-bit data). So I expect it would run a bit slower, though I don't have any data to say how much slower. -- Stephen -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
