Yeah, a mixture of both might be helpful -- the first to reduce the inputs to the state machine; the second to reduce interdependencies between cases, the distance of the potential goto jumps, and the number of state machine outputs. (When cases are heavily dependent on each other, probably best to handle them in the same function?) Luckily it looks like the current machine is usually linear. Thanks, --Jacob
