p.s. I also did quite well with 6502 asm code in cpu

80x86 and Z80 programmers. The zero page, for all intents and purposes,
is 256 registers. 6502 is single cycle instruction execution. Look up
definitions of RISC and the 6502 is arguably RISC-like.
No 6502 instruction takes less than 2 cycles to complete.
