Looks great!

As far as I know, its just the bank switching issue that remains.
Lets deal with that one.

I was starting to look over the code changes you made.  It looks like
a pretty extensive overhaul to me and I still don't quite have a whole
picture of how you have implemented things.  Does it seem to have
similar performance as previous versions?  I'll review your changes
some more, to see if I can catch any potential thread related bugs or
what have you, though I'm sure its perfect ;-)  I may have some
questions for you though, to try and get a better idea of how you have
done things.

Cheers!
