- CPUBlit is not a miracle cure. It is capable of moving data around simultaneously
- in two bitplanes while the operating system would run the blitter on each single
- bitplane. With a 16 colour screen CPUBlit would require two runs, whereas the
- operating systemroutines would require four runs.
-
- If you don't like the rainbow trailers, turn on the `faster layout' switch.
- Scrolling will not be faster, though. If you really wish to use 16 colours with
- `term', try an A4000.
