- The other day I ran a simple test to compare the speed of the Draw function
- to a simple direct line blit taken from the 1.3 hardware ref manual. Ive
- always heard that the Draw routine is terribly slow, but in my tests, it
- wasnt much slower than the blitter example...
-
- Now, I know the Draw routine is slow, so whats up? What kind of line
- routine would be the wisest to create-- or do real programmers code their
- own line routine and use the cpu to draw it???
