If you care for such things, you can use the Bus Pirate to see the speed of your code .. I have a macro I can wrap any function in, and by way of GPIO toggles, see on my bus pirate/logic analyzer, how many milliseconds/nanoseconds certain functions take to execute .. its also quite useful for getting a console - I have loaned my BP to a friend, who used it to reset his electric mopeds firmware ..
