Well a) 500K of Z80 was not a smart thing to do in the first place
and b) porting it to an AVR was an even less smart thing to do.

I guess Ulf meant 500K of source code....

Meindert

Nope, 500k object code.

I bow respectfully..

Remember, the AVR has 8 MByte address space.

Which one is that?

Interrupts only needed to preserve the status register - everything else they needed to use was already present in registers that were never touched by the main program or other interrupt functions, so the 32 registers of the AVR were put to much better use than a compiler could manage. ... For most programming tasks, I couldn't beat avrgcc by anything like that much without a great of effort - the AVR is not *very* C friendly, but it is a lot better than most 8-bit micros. ...
