+   \item memcpy becomes much smaller (higher bang-per-buck)\vspace{10pt}
+   \item context-switch (LOAD/STORE multiple): 1-2 instructions\vspace{10pt}
+   \item greatly-reduced I-cache load (and less reads)\vspace{10pt}
+   \item parallelisation of C further reduces I-cache (etc.)\vspace{10pt}

+   \begin{itemize}
+   \item It's not just about Vectors: it's about instruction effectiveness

+            let it fall through to exceptions (implement as a trap).
