Just a quick question regarding memory contention on the SAM and its effect on 
JP and the
*unconditional* JR instruction.

Z80 timing lists state that JP takes 10 T-States whereas an *unconditional* JR 
takes some
12 T-States.  However, does the SAM's memory contention make all 
*unconditional* JRs
faster (or as fast) as the JP due to the JP needing another memory access?

Just a simple "Yes, always use JR over JP in unconditional cases" - or - "No, 
stick with JP
as it's faster!" please guys, as my head explodes reading too much 
hardware-based theory!

Cheers...
Chris.
