- It is not really faster, BUT:
-
- It is not just a screen accelerator: it is a entirely new VDI which
- means that it is clean, fast, adds some new functionalities (like GDOS
- or some functions from GEM 2.0) and is much more compatible (for
- example, it is not screen dependent)
-
- It is a VDI replacement as opposed to Turbo ST (or alikes) that are VDI
- extensions !
