Re: [cc65] Optimizations needed!

Loading rooms from disk would be infeasible, because, so far, they take  
only 1 3/8k of code and certain rooms use some code to handle special  
instances.  Verbs could be loaded in from disk as needed, but such  would require a 
lot of conversion work and other considerations and would slow  down the 
system considerably.  The words take up about 10k, so this should  save 2-3k.  
Thank you.

Load as  much data as you can dynamically.  Numbered text files, or a REL 
file of  the data could be a great help in holding down code bloat.  You 
could  also detect the availability of extra RAM and load data into an REU or 
similar  device using the ram expansion driver model for cc65.
