Like all the other CPU emulations in the PCjs Project, PC8080 never "calculates" the flags unless/until they are
actually required, which considerably speeds up arithmetic operations.
Of particular note are the 8080's subtract,
compare, and decrement operations, which actually perform addition, not subtraction, by using two's complement
arithmetic in "stages": the first stage (inverting the source operand) occurs *before* the addition, while the second
stage (incrementing the inverted operand) occurs *after* the addition. And it appears to be the result of the *first*
stage, not the second, that determines the state of the Auxiliary Carry flag (AF).

The behavior of the Auxiliary Carry flag (AF) and the associated DAA instruction are probably the most significant
(and least understood) *arithmetic* differences between the 8080 and all later x86-based CPUs. Well, there's also

At 2Mhz, the 8080 Exerciser tests take quite a while, but you can click the speed button while the machine is running
to increase the simulated speed; it will revert to 2Mhz when you exceed the maximum speed that your system supports.
