I thought a main feature of the GA design was that it uses almost no
power when idle (blocked on a port read, e.g.).  If there's not enough
workload to keep it busy, it can stay shut off most of the time.

Well for UART's the comparison was Misc vs. hard cell, rather than Misc
vs LUTs.  And the Misc probably takes more area than the hard cell, but
gives more flexibility about data encoding, flow control, etc.

In that analogy, an F18 is sort of a super-LUT.  There are 144 of them
on a relatively big die, at 180nm.  At 28nm maybe that translates to
1000 or so of them.  That compares maybe 100k LUTs in an FPGA of similar
size and process if I'm not mistaken.  So one F18 uses as much silicon
as 100 LUT's, give or take some small factor.  So how many LUTs does it
take to implement an F18 in Verilog?  Idk but I'd guess in the
thousands.
