Since with 40+ cycles on most bytes I can't do it on the fly, I need to read/decode off-the buffer. That would add cycles and put me in the range of 200+ cycles, which is about the same as what 1571 routines do off the buffer.

Ah OK, I thought you meant 40 cycles for the whole 5 bytes, which is
obviously impossible :-) With 186 cycles for a 5 byte buffer, that means
37 cycles per byte, which should not be that hard? Let me think it over
the next days ;-)
