Well, concerning the ixl/ixh/iyl/iyh instructions, I would 
only use them when I'm really out of registers, because 
they are slower than the normal ones (each takes 9 cycles, 
I guess). They're still better than a memory reference, 
though. The combined shift/set/res instructions are nice, 
but I haven't found them useful so far. Probably if I 
revisited some of my code...
BTW what is "neg" good for when you can use "cpl \ inc a" 
instead? Same size, same clocks...
