                        Intel Hex flashing time increase in latest micro:bit builds
Intel Hex flashing time has increased in the main branch with armcc compared with the micro:bit factory release from commit 1436bdcc67029fdfc0ff03b73e12045bb6a9f272.
The measurements below have been done in macOS 11 with rsync and this Intel Hex file: ihex-v2-upy.hex.zip
For comparison I've also added a snapshot of the develop branch with armcc and GCC.
| Build | Flashing time (s) | 
|---|---|
| armc 1436bdc (255) | ~13.5 | 
| armcc main 8509fea | ~16.6 | 
| armcc develop 930ef1df | ~16.5 | 
| GCC develop 930ef1df | ~17.5 | 
I've only run this on a micro:bit V2, so it's possible this might affect other ports as well, but I haven't tested it.
My tests show very similar results except for the v0255 value which is for me in line with the other armcc tests.
