- I notice this also, but of course, 256 colour screens work faster than any any
- native Amiga modes, faster than even 4-colour modes (due to being a pixar mode
- rather then the slow planar Amiga modes I expect). MUI is very fluid on my
- A4000/030. Inceidently, I seem to find that 16-bit modes are a bit faster than
- 15-bit modes.
