If the CPU cache strategy distinguishs between program code and data, less code can make a difference even if you process gigabytes of data.
A new OS isn't so easy to do. AmigaOS is a good base because you have something that already is quite usable and can be improved well.
Linux is the obvious option if the Amiga rights are not available but Germany needs only something the USA wants (for example the Transrapid) and a way will be found. How much paid Hyperion Entertainment for the AmigaOS 4 rights? Can't be so much. Germany (or the EU) needs no exclusive rights of the old stuff (other can use it too), so it can't be so expensive. Maybe a cheque of 10 million Euro will do the trick (one must consider that no one else will pay much because of the horrendous costs to devolop AmigaOS).
Obviously there must be a cooperation with Hyperion Entertainment so they can be in the same boat (if they want to).
