I think real-time should be possible on a 100 MHz. You'll probably have
to write some functions in assembly though. These are the ones I can
think of: inner_prod, filter_mem2, iir_mem2, fir_mem2 and vq_nbest.

I think I got better results than that with the arm-tuned code by making
heavy use of the multiply-add and wide (16 x 32) multiplies. If your
compiler doesn't support inline asm, you'll have to re-write entire
(small) functions. The good thing is that you might get even better
performance.

Well, for all macros that have 16_32 in them, the output will be
suboptimal... unless your compiler has some advanced AI in it :)
