it's an idea... :)

are the differences between crystals of the same kind so small that an
optimization like this one makes sense for production, or are you thinking
mainly of highly optimized one-of-a-kind units?

if somebody tries it, would you please post your observations?

i once had problems getting a resonator to work at 3.3V and 1MHz; at that
time i simply used a crystal and had no problem. do you think this circuit
would be useful with resonators also? (i'm kinda lost above 1MHz when it's
not digital... ;-)
