- Since I have been working with NB4 I have the impression that the video
- is much slower: even typing text, the cursor seems sluggish, and when at
- the end of the screen lines must move up, they do so with visible delays.
- Same for other operations that involve the screen. Is this because of the
- fancy video/graphics footwork we now have (I don't even use the special
- graphics mode, which does not seem to feature the 850 code page which I
- use so that I can make portuguese dead accents with ~ and others with '
- and accent-grave that are not in PC8). If I am right that video (refresh
- rates?) are slower, what can I do? (either in NB4, or are there special
- programs or cards that speed up video operations and are compatible with
- NB4?).
