Updating the datatypes might help speedup backdrop rendering, especially with the warp datatype system for max speed as apposed to the junk that comes with os35/39.

Unfortunalty mediator coupled with the equally slow p96 doesnt help matters.  cgxv4 would have been much better to support, but because p96 was easier for elbox to simply bundle at no cost to them, it got the drivers instead :/

icons / backdrops and just about everything was faster under cgx and bvision  Also ppc helps no end for speedy backdrop rendering if nothing else ;)

There is a free cgxv3 driver , but doesnt have as much hadware acceleration as v4 :(  with the bvision, youd also need the ppc card :|

fblit is totly redundent on gfx cards and will only hurt the system, as the p96 or cgx will be patching the same stuff to speedup there own blitting.

Setting icons fast though still works a treat.
