I am actually using a dsPIC30F4013 now and you can't just compare MIPS.
Using a 20MHz resonator the sx can set/clear a pin in 1 instruction (= 1 cycle), the dsPIC
requires 3 instructions to make that happen. Running internally at 80MHz it thus takes 12 cycles
to set/clear a pin ( = less than 7 MIPS).
Running VP's on a dsPIC is also quite demanding and I must yet see to have
8 uarts running (that's why I used the sx for).
