For what I'm doing, they're going to be reasonably up to date.

But what's getting me is the stuff that *really* doesn't matter, like
shaving a couple of bytes off of variable names, and agonizing over
something that will take a millisecond or less when someone touches a
key . . .

An 8080 processed, at best, a couple of hundred thousand instructions
a second, and accessed, at most, 2 million bytes a second.

I get billions of multi-byte words a second . . .
