hello,

That helps the read/write, BUT, it means that each nibble has to be handled individually instead of being able to be handled as packs.

For example, if you work with "packed" nibbles, you can describe 1 register as 1 64 bit integer (and use masks), so any saturn binary operation can be done in basically 1 PPL line as in: A:= (A and not mask) OR ((A and mask) + (B and mask));
regardless of the field...

Working nibble by nibbles means loops, which are much less efficient...
