FBlit just makes all non-displayable bitmaps to reside in fast memory and replace hardware blitting with CPU operations.
That is why fblit only speeds up a system when the CPU is beefy enough. In fact it is an example of the lacking chipset. The whole idea about amiga being offloading the CPU which made it a better computer than it's competitors in the day. FBlit does the opposite. It offloads the blitter and lets the cpu take care of things. If you cant beat em join em I'd say

Before continuing with this debate, would you be kind enough to explain what would one use the 8MB chip memory for? What benefits does 8MB chip memory offer?
I think only workbench related things can benefit from this. More screens open, webbrowser graphics that sort of thing. Games and such count on only having 2MB so most of the time it is useless having 8MB.
Powerhungry addicts want to drool over their workbench when it reports the ammount of RAM they don't use. More unused RAM feels better I guess.
