The 8 bit PIC's are slower than AVR however the 16-bit PICs will better AVR
running up to 40 MIPS with 16 bit (instructions?).

I assume you all are aware of the Parallax "Propeller" micro...
It is an amazing piece of work. It is a typical(?) micro... but it has 8 cpu cores!! Each of them can share the same I/O and can pass variables to each other. Therefore you can have one core just doing one thing and another core do another thing.
Pretty amazing.
Not that I am ready to switch... I am still trying to keep up with the PIC's and PBP. I have yet to outrun the capabilities with the PIC's.
These micros are neat stuff no matter which way you go. Sure beats the heck out of the old Altair 8800
And I am perfectly happy with PicBasic Pro. It is very capable and can stand up speed-wise to most "C" programs with little or no compromise, much easier to follow for my old eyes.
Cheers
