Henry,
Oh…believe me I know about the slowness in the ST…working on the
now defunct paperclip…we had all kinds of 'fun' trying to get it sped up.
Dan did most of the work, but even using the line-a routines, it was still slow
(no blitter).
Things like early telecomm programs on the Amiga had problems with text
speed since the authors used 'get a character from the buffer and print it to
the screen' routines. They quickly learned that the proper way to go was 'get
all the characters in the buffer and print them to the screen' routines. That
sped things up significantly.
