Yes - it sounds nuts but I have tested both hardware SPI and memory mapped QSPI. At least for the read patterns we do, it's still fastest to bit-bang using 2 bits for data, so that's what we do.
Pretokenising complete strings is an interesting idea, and could help in a lot of areas. Right now all we do is turn tokens into single bytes. I guess we could store strings like:
TOKEN_STR,LEN_HI,LEN_LO,raw string bytesand could handle that pretty easily. If we spottedatob(...)we could just decode that and store the raw data as well.
