Exactly, and that was what pissed me whit the 3,4mhz i/o,many
LPC users had exactly the same baad feeling that Philips had done
a crap work on the glue!

I recall that the Philips app guy blamed pipe stalls as a source
wich i dont belive, since the pipe is 3 stages long and even
a flush and reload of instructions are quicker then the resulting 
3,4Mhz io speed! naaa , this is very baad gluee enginering from
Philips!.... simply!
