- If full memory protection is going to bring a performance hit, then I
- don't agree that it should be added, even with the more powerful CPU's.
-
- Keep the memory handling as it is, and then when there's faster CPU,
- it will be able to do that much more. Why add something that's going
- to change the whole concept of the Amiga?
