Full memory protection => No more direct access to blitter.
A Coldfire with SuperAGA will be very fast but
if you ask for MP then you it will crawl.

sorry to pickup it here one more time, but i suppose the access to blitter (if it went wrong) would not crash the system but ony produced corrupted graphic output. and even that only till the next refresh. the access to superaga (and other output periferials) could be treated as exception out of memory protection and in this case we would not need to sacrifice that much speed.

i am not at all familiar with hard and software engineering, so treat this post only like a noobs idea. no need to get upset about :)
