There are many things you can do. How many of those 16 characters do you need?
I'm a bit rushed, so bear with me...
Since you know the OOPic isn't keeping up with the datastream, once
serial.received is set, you can stop checking it, since it will
always be set until you've read every character. So you can help
yourself by skipping the test; you can also do loop unrolling:
do
if serial.received then
buffer = serial
buffer.location = buffer.location + 1 // 1st character handled
buffer = serial
buffer.location = buffer.location + 1 // 2nd character handled
buffer = serial
buffer.location = buffer.location + 1 // 3rd character handled
...
buffer = serial
buffer.location = buffer.location + 1 // 16th character handled
endif
If that code is too fast, I'm sure you can figure out how to waste a
bit of time at selected points.
