I'll probably get grief for saying this, but there are some quirks in the 
SYS32 hardware that keep it from performing in ways it should. The memory
subsystem tends to require an unreasonable number of wait states in certain
configurations, and it makes the system sludge out. We've been taking a
close look at the SYS32 in the last few months because we realize that the
performance makes our chips look a lot worse than they really are. I don't
have anything I can talk about at this time besides pointing out that it IS
very possible to get 32xxx based systems that run MUCH faster than SYS32.
The SYS32 is more of a workhorse than a benchmark system, and people should
be aware of that fact.
