I heard that the screen swapping is alot faster then the picassoIV because of the 8mb, is this true?

I believe that the CV-PPC also has 8MB of memory, so that wouldn't make any difference.  In my opinion, the PicassoIV should be slower because it's on the Zorro bus whereas the CV-PPC is on the local bus of the CyberStorm accelerator (faster data transfer rates).  Screen swapping only slows down when you have multiple screens open that use more than the 8MB.  Then it has to swap screens into/out of Fast RAM.  The CV-PPC is definitely worth buying.
