AHB-APB bridge between normal peripheral and processor

Hi,

Is it not possible to implement something similar to the bridge like AHB-APB Bridge (AMBA) between normal peripherals(can be treated as APB) and a processor(can be treated as ABP) to strip off the unnecessary communication delay due to low througput in normal peripherals ?

Is it already there ?

Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru
