A funny side note about Shapeshifter on AGA: When I was running Shapeshifter on 040/40MHz with a fast AGA C2P driver, Photoshop was faster in 8-bit than Photogenics was on a native 8-bit screen.

I used to use MacOS 7.5.3 on ShapeShifter 3.10 on the bvision.

It was much faster than AGA, but I got the impression there was no actual hardware graphics acceleration of any kind (blits etc.) and that only the chunky framebuffer sped things up over AGA. For example, moving a window still had visible redraw, just a lt quicker than AGA. If the blitter were used I wouldn't expect to see it at all.

Can anybody confirm this? Or ist it a 7.5.3 problem?

mmm I don't know about Shapeshifter but I think that Fusion had the possibility of having blitter acceleration...
