- This is certainly true with <1.3 (and probably 2.04), the idea is that
- some new versions of the OS fix this...(2.1? 3.0? 3.1? 4.0?)
- So what people should be doing is whining for faster routines in the
- OS.
- (cause CBM isn't going to release hardware refs, cause it is in their!
- best intrest not to, cause this way they can have some freedom about
- their hardware. (which is in our best intrest, cause it means cheaper
- better graphics in the future (no/less backwards compatability)
- (and it means competition for graphics systems from 3rd parties).)
