That's what I'd expect.

Yes - I doubt that you really *need* all that performance on
something like a Lego robot - particularly given the relatively
limited amount of memory in the beast.

Just to clarify:
NQC isn't "firmware" - it uses the standard Lego firmware and
just generates the same kind of 'bytecode' output that the Lego
programming environment produces...what's *great* about it is
that it allows you to write (not-quite) C programs without having
to mess with replacing the firmware.
