- Note that the AIBB WritePixel test is no longer a good benchmark
- _for HARDWARE_. The 3.0 ROM in the A4000 and A1200 contain a new optimized
- WritePixel routine which can run around 3 times faster. Running this
- test on a 25mhz A3000 with a 3.0 kickstart shows it being 3 times faster
- than a 25mhz A3000 in AIBB! There are also other graphics speedups on the
- AGA machines which come from software, not hardware.
