The PIC in question is an 18F4550, pretty fast, not much RAM, Harvard

I would say not ... PDP 8 -- 128 words of ram, 4K of program space.
1.5 us for shifts, tests and jumps
3.0 us for memory access to/from ACC.
Maybe
a pic has more computing power than a PDP-8? :o)
Depends on the clock rate. For most PICs, probably not.
