I remember, around 1978/9 some articles in a German magazine calles
Funkschau (primary a radio / electronics magazine, but they added
_four_ pages of uP informations) about the same thing - in one issue
some guy showed that a Z80 could do a specific task faster than a
6502, while in the next issue anoter man just proved that the 6502
code could be optimated to run even faster and so on...
