Aha... :)

Why then they prefer speed step and turbo mode over clock modulation used before? Also ARM, VIA and other low power platforms offers some variable clock speed. I think they did it because of simplicity of design.

Yes I think too. BTW last news is that they managed to compile DJGPP crosscompiler under Cygwin that can run under Win x64 and produce DOS binaries for 86duino.
