I recall vividly when turnaround for the cross-assembler (remotely
 located) was typically close to 2 days.  One of the projects I
 did was to write an assembler that built our code locally.  And
 once the hardware existed,  I ported the assembler to run on the
 target directly.  Cut typical module assembly time to less than 5
 minutes. 1973-1975
