Um, you might not have noticed, but in many aspects the 65816 is much more
efficient than a 680x0 processor, and actually takes fewer cycles to execute
comparable instructions, in which case this '12 MHz' is actually closer to
'24 MHz' on another platform

Yeah, I really enjoy watching C++ code cause all sorts of really wild bus

You don't make any sense.  If the GS was the most amazing machine on the planet

Show me one fact in the above and I will be glad to add to global warming by
buying a space heater that does some computing on the side.
