I just went hunting for the information on number of passes and optimization.

The only thing I seem to find is in the updates:

**
2018-12-12: LWTOOLS 4.16. The most significant update to this version
is the operandsizewarning pragma which will cause warnings to be
generated for lines where a smaller addressing mode could be used.
Also of use is the new << prefix for index offsets to force 5 bit
offset mode.
