But even with this artificial concept, the 6502 is still running through
instructions in fewer average clock cycles. Granted, the Z80 has a good
selection of more complex instructions that take fewer clock cycles than
the equivalent 6502 code in total. How often they get employed for this
advantage, however, directly affects their run-time impact of course.
