I was trying to find the exact time required to execute a portion
of my code. This portion is written in assembly. But the problem
is, the code resides on the external memory.  For my system, the
external read/write takes 3 clock cycles. I am not sure, how
to calculate the processor cycles for each instruction.
Though, the reference manual provides information on the
processor cycles taken by an istruction executing in internal memory.
Can anybody shed some light on it?
