True.  For the 1970's.  Even in the 1990's they were the fastest things we 
could get for the money.

But if you're working through a C compiler you don't have to care.  A design 
called for an Internet-controlled device driver.  I prototyped in C for 
ATMega128 and a Wiznet module.  The client didn't use AVR, so they ported 
the program to PIC16 (I think it was, could have been PIC18.)  Before 
production they had re-ported to PIC32 with its own TCP/IP stack.  The C app 
went through it all unchanged, except for a few lines in specific device 
routines.  I guess the last port was helped by the Wiznet emulating software 
sockets as well as it did.
