- I would call that very stupid programming. Putting some things
- to FAST-ram provides so large speedup, that I dont see how
- this situation would even be possible.
-
- The other thing is, why the hell the software should even
- be done that way, to assume something about the timings.
-
- I always have the "movement code" in VERTB-interrupt, so
- that the program speed is always the same on chip-only
- A1200 or a A1200 with a 50MHz 68060.
