Reading through the Programming thread, I have come across many a post referring to avoiding doubles and square roots and standard Math.h functions since the PIC is an 8-bit processor. I remember this was a big thing before the start of last season too. We even tried to rewrite the Math.h to not use things like sqrts and the like. And yes, I do understand why those things were avoided since they take more power since an 8-bit processor will use software to do 64-bit math instead of hardware.

Here's my question though. Has anyone actually had problems with processing power on the PIC? I mean, have you had dropped packets due to the processing cycle taking too long or something along those lines? 26.2ms is quite a long time for a processor.
