vic20owner,

speed on workbench on AGA screens are limited to lot a of determining factors......cpu speed is crucial cause for example idem screen on a 040/40mhz is maybe 5x faster than idem screen on a classic A1200 with a 68020/14mhz

also if you map amiga roms into fast memory using blizkick or remapollo or any other tool you will accelerate workbench speed 2x aprox

if you use fblit you will get some speed improvments too

anyways all of that is limited by the low bandwidth of the chip memory on AGA amigas cause is only 2mb/seg

on ECS/OCS amigas maybe chip memory speed is only 1mb/seg

a discontinued geforce 2mx ' memory speed is about 2gb/sec..that's about 1000x faster than the Amiga chip memory

Amiga' technology is ancient

bye

bye, Laser
