- That is true. AMosaic runs slower than molasses in January when I try it in
- 256 colors. I change it to 128 colors, and it runs great. I need to put
- my A1200 in a tower case and add a graphics card.

- Yes, increase the stack size and use MUI v3.2 because it makes AMosaic much
- more stable. I recently installed the new MUI version, and AMosaic has not
- crashed on me once since then.

- You may try disabling IBrowse's custom image decoder and using datatypes
- instead. I do it that way, and IBrowse seems to be relatively stable on
- my machine, although it does crash once in a while. That's understandable
- though, 'cause it's only a beta release.
