- Short: Speed up blitter-wait operations.

- This is version 2.7 of my FastWaitBlit patch, which
- speeds up multi-tasking, and so isn't too benchmark-able.
- You *May* experience lower benchmarks on certain graphics
- operations in (for example) AIBB, but if you run lots of
- tasks, and your main task isn't too graphics-intense, then
- you won't wait around as much.
-
- People have told me that my patch isn't as fast as *Art's
- FasterBlit patch, the reason for this, is that my patch
- works in a different way to *Art's. His increases graphics
- performance, and mine increases multitasking performance.
- Take your pick.
-
- Or, you can run the Non-DMA version of my patch in conjunction
- with *Art's FasterBlit, which will use an optimised version
- of the graphics library WaitBlit() function, without my
- dynamic DMA (tm) idea.
