With the optics of _compiled_ code, how do the various 8-bitters stack up? (6809/6811, 65C02, Z80, H8, ...)? One would have to account for the frequency allowed by the ISA at iso-technologies (which makes including AVR somewhat tricky).
I only have experience with Z80 and 65C02 and I believe the consensus is that a 4 MHz Z80 beats a 2 MHz 65C02, but neither is a particularly nice compiler target.
