Look into Fast Loading #27

How fast can we go?

Once the ROM is in PSRAM, with our own probably faster QPI controller, we might have really low latency and might be able to go below 200ns on a constant basis.

Patch the PI configuration word to lower values.

Write a stress test ROM.

Update:

Not going for a custom QSPI controller. But by doing prefetching, data could be served quite fast.

A stress test ROM is still something we should do.
