- THe latest Amiga Mail had a nifty article about tricks to optimize your
- graphics & intuition rendering in windows. One thing it pointed out was the
- high cost of SetAPen and suchlike. It suggested that if you're doing, say, a
- bunch of drawing in one color, and a bunch of area filling in another color,
- you might want to create two rastports so you're not always changing the color
- settings of one rastport.
-
- My question is, does using ClearEOL have the kind of overhead that changing
- colors does, or does it just use the existing pen setup efficiently?
