- This has already been optimized in 1990. KAOS 1.4.1 and newer has a
- completely new window module that is able to minimize redraws. This
- TOS patch works like MAC or other GUIs that never had those mentioned
- problems. You get an enormous redraw speed and redraw looks much better.
- This mechanism is also included in the multitasking system Mag!X, the
- mechanism is named "smart redraw". "smart redraw" is the opposite
- to "TOS redraw", "TOS redraw" is also a part of MultiTOS.
- What do you think about this "genious" window sizing routine in TOS that
- got even worse in MultiTOS?
