Memory limits of the Prop1 and 2

Jon,
What are the memory limits of the Prop1 and 2? I'm thinking about a 2 this year.

This chart (from our Prop-2 programming presentation) spells out the differences:



Note that the speed is overall throughput which is affected by EEPROM access.  Most Prop-2 instructions are 5x or better faster once the instructions are loaded into the interpreter.  For example, the resolution for PULSOUT (what we use to move servos) is 10 microseconds in the Prop-1, but it's 2 microseconds in the Prop-2, a 5x speed improvement.
