- Blitter c2p is never "super fast" because it involves very
- much blitting. I guess you are talking about XTRs blitterscreen
- mode where blitter c2p on 160x128 screen takes very little
- time, 50fps possible if scrambled buffer is used (very likely
- in XTRs case) or 25fps in linear buffer is used.

-
- Yep, because CD32 with a 14MHz 020 has better chipram bandwidth
- than a A4000/040. If the chipram speeds would be equal,
- Akiko would be slower because it involves more memory moving.
-
- What is your point? This whole thread started when you
- stated Akiko would be very useful in all Amigas or
- something like that..
