[Coco] Optimizing 6809 Assembly Code: Part 2 – Speedup Storing Data – Unrolling Loops

[Steve Bamford]

This is a great idea Glen! :)

I think I'm right in saying a branch not taken uses fewer cycles than a branch taken, (correct me if I'm wrong).

For this reason where there's a fork in the program flow I always test for the least likely outcome rather than the most likely, if that makes sense?

Hi Again,

I just posted Part 2 of my series of blogs about optimizing 6809 assembly language programs.
