I shall be giving this one a spin :-)

I guess the limiting factor on 680x0 RTG based systems would most probably be the gfx bus speed, which I know from my own experiments is not that that hot.

I think they probably are - it woudln't do for people to upload anything obscence and what not.

Anything I ever uploaded took anywhere from 5 minutes to a day to appear...

@Ima..

True they will require more storage and horsepower to render.

However, the plus points of the patch are

1) All OS3.5/3.9 icons can now use their full colours without having to get pens from the workbench. That in itself is a good thing!

2) Many people like antialiased true colour imagry on their desktop.

IIRC, you got a Pegasos recently, I thought youd approve ;-)
