Thanks for the explanation, Erik! I'm okay with the instruction
mnemonics, but I (practically) never use the directives.

Best regards,

Having not seen anyone stop to provide an explanation, here's one.

   .rept 30000
   nop
   .endr

merely plonks 30,000 NOPs into the source. Thus the fourth function
would seem to end above 120,000 (instructions), or 240kB, if my glance
at Dimitry's OP was not too cross-eyed.

(It's also useful inside macros, for creating structs in assembler.)
