Limit the enemy moving X position to fit within one byte (0-255 pixels), and design your game around that.
So you may save a lot of processing power calculating the position, hit rate, moving table, etc. especially if you have 8 or 10 enemies, it may make the difference when you have CPU limit.
Maybe that's why Spectrum enemies are always so fast?  (256x192 resolution)
