"just as odd as in real life" - I mean running on my digilent spartan-3
board.

I'm running the T65 core at 10 MHz (and no memory wait states ever) and
communicating at 115200 baud, so it's funny to see POM limiting to more
realistic values. I just got tired of the serial uploading times, so I
decided not to stick to 1 MHz and 1200 baud or whatever is realistic
here.
