Thanks.  Further experimentation suggests (a) doing timing
computations in picoseconds, rather than nanoseconds, gives
better answers and makes that "slow" system faster by 25% or
more; and (b) increasing all the UDMA timings by one clock
cycle gives another few percent.

Now (a) makes obvious sense; but (b) seems odd ...
