A couple of months ago, I did a comparison of the tradeoff between
using the extended instruction set, and losing all of your access RAM,
which was the side effect of enabling extended mode on the particular
PIC I was using.  In this case, using non-banked access RAM saved more
code space than using the extended instructions as generated by C18.
