I've uploaded a custom instruction I developed to reduce interrupt latency.

It is located in the "Post your own IP" section of this forum.

The custom instruction replaces a bunch of assembly instructions in the HAL/MicroC/OS-II exception handler that calls your ISR.

How about you give this a try and see if it meets your needs?

You can always use it in conjunction with your own custom instruction to save/restore registers if you need to.
