If so, I noticed this and I don't understand it. Obviously CASE does work, and once a clause is selected the other clauses are certainly not selected. But sometimes (always?) the debugger appears to be testing all the clauses when you STEP.

Yeah, the CASE statement would have to evaluate each condition sequentially until it finds the correct block to execute. As the remaining value gets smaller, you'll see it taking longer to work its way down to the bottom conditions. The 48 CASE statement is really more if an IF/ELSE IF/ELSE structure than the case structure from C, etc. In other words, you're getting a lot of extra DUP >= checks when the remaining value is small.
