Uhm, okay, I first thought the guy was talking about the Ti83+, bcall'ing
is lot slower than directly calling a routine... The routines accesable via
RST are relatively small, and the overhead of a bcall (?how many clocks?)
would be significant.

Why not? Are those so different? As far as I know only rst 28h (hence, it's
bcall itself) is different.
