   * For data stored in RAM, use the smallest type possible.

 There are also some additional tricks you can take advantage of:
-  * Avoid far calls between functions - branches are expensive, and far branches are significantly more expensive. If you're calling a far function from another far function in the same section, use ''%%IA16_CALL_LOCAL%%'' over a far call to save a few cycles.

   * Try word-aligning loop labels by prepending them with ''%%.align 2, 0x90%%'' - this generates a NOP opcode if necessary. This may help a little.
