Hi.

I'd also like to add that it was not clear from the original post
which PIC this is about. Note that the newer PIC16F1xxx ("Enhanced
Midrange") series has a faster bank switching then the older PIC16.
One single instruktion instead of 2 (on the old 4 bank models).

And besides of that, more file registers are common over
all banks and doesn't need any bankswitch commands at all.

If you are right at the memory limit, this might make a difference.

Jan-Erik.
