Re: Fast and Slow Operations
Looking at the data sheet for the PIC18FXX20, Multiply, Add, and Subtract (8 bit integer) should be really fast. 16 bit integer versions will be not as fast, but should still be fairly fast. And it goes downhill from there. (Because all operations other than 8 bit integer Add, Subtract, and Multiply have to be implemented in software.)
