I'm using 16F1829 and the nRF24L01P driver.
I want to run the device @ 32MHz and using #use delay(clock=32M)
It work fine till I operate the nRF24L01P driver.
Now delay_ms(20) become 1.5 Sec...
Does anyone know how nRF24L01P driver impact the delay function?

Perhpas you've set the 'build configuration' to 'debug' and not 'release' ?

Maybe you've got ICD=true, or debug enabled ?

Who's/what nRF24L01P driver?.
There have been several posted in the past.

The way that a delay could get extended like this, is that the driver code is sitting for most of it's time in an interrupt handler (breaking the rules about handling the hardware job, and getting out quickly.....) If it is sitting for 98.7% of the time inside an interrupt handler, then the main code will get run at 1.3% of it's normal speed....
