* You should '''always''' compare values that you get and comment on them. If you are asked what a quantity is in one case, and what it becomes in another case, even you are not asked, volunteer to comment on what it means. Here it means that you have added some hardware to your design and you are getting better performance. The hardware you added reduced the software in your program. Because you reduced your instruction count, you have the ability, assuming that your peripheral is very fast, to double your throughput: twice as many bytes sent as before. | * You should '''always''' compare values that you get and comment on them.
