The MAXQ2000 (the first processor out of the box) is very impressive
when running programs.  It's single cycle, and has lots of accumulators
(registers).  Its performance runs rings around the AVR and MSP430, but
the LPC can outrun the MAXQ at high clock frequencies--but that's not
the MAXQ's forte, it's ultra low power, not just "low power".  It has
some quirks.  But it does work.
