It is excessive.

I measured it a long while back, and was surprised at how close
phi0 and phi2 really were.  Unfortunately my memory isn't perfect,
but I seem to recall a number closer to 15ns than 150ns.

[C. Bond]
Since phi2 can be generated (and meet the non-overlapping of phi1 and phi2 spec) by 
simply using an inverter and a NOR latch (+ bus driver), I would expect the delay to
be short.

[Adam]
I'll see if I can remember to measure it after work tonight.

[C. Bond]

Thanks for your help.
