I'm interested in trying this myself. The performance should be reasonable,
approaching 60 MMACs. You'll have to use assembler as the C compilers don't
support the MAC operation AFAIK.

It won't be anything like as good as the ADI Blackfin of course. I've got
the Blackfin EZKit - it offers up to 1.2 GMACs from its two ALUs operating
in parallel at 600 MHz!
