At the moment, only count=1 is passed. The user
code doesn't participate in the emulation of instruction
any more (as well it shouldn't). The count idea
is a good one though, and as one of the optimizations,
we can make the instruction emulation use it.
We have to observe certain conditions before
letting string instructions rip, but very doable.
I'm getting ready for another release. If I
don't incorporate these mods in that release,
then I'll put them in immediately after, and
make a 2nd one which we can upload into CVS.
Thanks,
