I don't think so. And there are other inconsistencies with the emulator. For
example it is not guaranteed that the emulator follows the right number of
"clock cycles" for every instruction.
So a program optimized for the Palm processor (by using as many short
instructions as possible) is not guaranteed to be optimized on the emulator.
The emulator is great for a number of things, but has some limits that make it
useless for real strength comparisons.
