The SEC is essentially the EC with a core that can be
run static
(i.e. you can stop the clock with no ill effect).
I've wished more CPUs were like that, ie, had no minimum clock
frequency. It makes some kinds of hacking-around easier. (I've never
really understood why any CPU would have a minimum clock frequency,
short of things like on-die clock multipliers.)
