I know. But on the C128 it's even worse than this, because clock
stretching occurs on only some I/O accesses. So you never really know if
an I/O access at 2MHz speed takes one or two cycles. The 264 design
doesn't seem to suffer from this, but then it has that weird Phi2 clock
which must make it nearly uselees to use 6522/6526 timers there. No
wonder the timers are in the TED.
