A few bods have mentioned that they are annoyed by the way in which a
     large number of micros divide down the external clock, resonator or
     crystal usually, and run instructions at that speed ....

     What are the reasons for people finding this so distasteful? I
     understand that clock division and PLL circuits can be noisey, but I
     get the feeling that this is not the only reason.

     regards,
     SW.

It's a pity zilog hasn't seen the light. If the Z8 was flash, and didn't
have the clock/8 "feature", then they'd rule the world!
