Code Generation (register byte, short...)

[on a 68000 where short*short is a single instruction, but int*int requires a
procedure call ]

Thats what you get for using a machine that calims to be 32-bit when it really
is 16-bit. Dont know how to help you with your gripe but "int" exists to
represent the natural size of the machine..... in my interpretation that
would be the size that works best, fastest etc.
