Uihjah! Just had this extreme thought:
Instead of a repositioning loop, you could do some 15 different kernels RESPing at the precise cycles where the loop would do it.
Still, it won't work, because you have to time the second PF write to cycle... what was it again... 46?
So when the one kernel is doing
STA RESP ; @43
STA PF2 ; @46
The next would do
STA PF2 ; @46
STA RESP ; @49
But the required gap between the RESPs would be 5 cycles and this'd require 6 (49-43)...
Damn! :-(

Manuel
