programming a pic (e.g. 16f876) over the icd takes a lot of time, which
is not really nice when debugging.
as the serial port, connecting the icd to the pc is quite fast, compared
to the time it takes to program the pic, i think that speed limitation
is done by the pic's flash, and not by the serial connection.

i think about switching to the 18f252, which has twice the flash area of
the 16f876.
so i wonder if this will take twice the time to program the pic, or if
the icd2 uses a faster programming algorithm or the 18fxxx flash allows
faster programming?

does anyone have experience?

thanx!
