Why is hicolor WB so slow?
« on: June 07, 2007, 03:27:32 AM »

I guess I just don't understand why workbench is so slow when it's in 256 colors.  The amiga is so fast at 2d graphics when gaming, why is workbench such a dog?

I realize the planar graphics are slow because each plane has to be written seperately, but is it really so slow that you can't redraw a simple background graphic without a 5 second delay?

 But isnt just a small portion of the screen redrawn?  Still seems way too slow...
