Thank you Cosmos for the Trillions of CPU cycles you will save us all!
I will take time to see if it has any wierd bugs, but I'm sure it will make Carl Sassenrath smile.  I hope you will support NatAmis 68050,70, etc. feature/instruction sets too.
Thank you very much!!!
(...I just hope it dosen't interfere with running Mindguard...)

Cosmos,
Quoted from Aminet:
"Autovec unified and 9 times faster (68 bytes now instead of 612 bytes)"
Wow!
I guess I'll need to strip out Decigel from my old startup-sequences.
If VBR in chipmem is 4X slower, it's still faster with your Exec!
HW wise: I thought the most responsive or _crispest_ Amiga's I(we)'ve seen have 32 bit zero waitstate memory located @ CZero (even if only 256K) even if they have megabytes elsewhere.
This was because of Kickstart adding that memory in so early (1986+ CSA accellerators) and Execbase being located there I thought.  
With regular kickstarts, and your new Exec, will C0 just contain a jump instruction to where your Exec.device is placed from arguments from its launch?
 I'm feeling rusty now, I need to RTFM more to understand.  This is AWESOMSE!
You guys are so fucking smart!
