Pity that they have a five stage pipeline though. Though the 16-bit lines now have
more stalls too (the "e" series is further away from the 1 clock one 1
instruction principle than the "f" was).

I btw also have a pic32mx, but I don't use it. I ordered as an extra to play
with for a 16/32-bits combined development board (explorer16) once, but we
decided to stick with 16-bit instead.
