Are you using fullscreen? If not, try it or try using overlay.

That's because 320*200 16bit requires 128000 bytes bandwidth whereas 320x200 HAM8 requires only half of that (64000). Mediator bus is only slightly faster than chipram bandwidth, especially on phase5/dce hardware. Broken hardware (wrong bus timing) such as Apollo accelerators give faster mediator bus access.

Yes, in simple terms, AGA is faster.
