At the risk of sounding like I am saying RTFM (which I am), the answer
is on page 612 of
http://www.keil.com/dd/docs/datashts/atmel/at91sam7x128_256_pc.pdf

Since you only get single cycle access at or below 30MHz, you may find
that you get better performance by reducing the clock slightly so you
can use zero wait state.

A newer revision of the manual is available at
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc6120.pdf but it is
a far slower download. In this revision it is on page 627.

Thanks a lot Clifford.

I will consider your inputs. Also i think i should have searched the
datasheet bit more thoroughly :-)
