- The reason that CoNnect is visably slower is that it _doesn't_ use
- custom fonts, or rather it lets you use lots of standard GDOS fonts, because it
- uses GDOS (and the standard VDI that goes with it). This is why a screen

- - well, ok, maybe you can measure it, but whatever the difference is, it is
- a very significant, VERY NOTICABLE difference.
-
- If I remember correctly, it might help to use it in monochrome too.
