- I'm writing a text editor (just what the world needs, another text editor!)
- and I'm wondering what techniques those in the know have used to accomplish
- speedy text scrolls/displays in an intuition window. Specifically:
-
- o-Is using ClipBlit() any faster than ScrollRaster()? Is there a better
- way whilst remaining OS friendly?
-
- o-Under what conditions does Text() run the fastest? Is it feasible to
- write a replacement for it?
-
- I _know_ there are faster ways of accomplishing this; both QED and JEd,
- and possibly others, move quicker than mine, and I've cut things down
- to bare minimums on redisplays. Any hints, folks?
