a few more questions about the 2600...

1. does anyone know how many machine cycles
or scanlines it would take for the capacitors
for input ports 0-3 to be recharged based on
if the paddle was turned all the way clockwise
or counter-clockwise?  in other words, if i read
INPT# every scanline, and hypothetically, i had
a paddle turned all the way clockwise, how long
would it take in machine cycles for bit 7 to be
set 1?

2. if you had to write a routine that took a lot
of space in bytes, but total execution time fit
within one scanline (branches taken or not) and
could read the positions of two missiles and a ball
while reading two paddles and reinitializing, would
it be worth the extra bytes?
