- You are right. Just to give you an idea of how much, here are some more
- numbers (numbers are different fom above because those use Diamond
- drivers on 486/33 while these use generic S3 drivers on 486/50):
-
- Scroll System Font
-
- Stealth (486/50) Stealth (486/50slowed to 16 Mhz)
-
- 48883 37070
-
- Image Text System Font
-
- 49354 30476
-
- BTW, these numbers are in characters/second.
-
- If you have a 24X and you want something to brag about, try this
- (1024x768x16 on 386/33):
-
- Hatch Patterns 98469495 pixels/sec
