The frame rate he/you were getting is about exactly what I was getting on
my A2500, with 704×220 pics. You did tell him to move HIRES (704) didn't
you? (you typed 352)
Since we're all getting about the same rate, I'd suspect that we are
hitting the Chip ram contention barrier, and hence there isn't going to be
much more improvement in this area for now (using this technique). Worth
giving it a shot though.
Just remember that you'll only move data as fast as your SLOWEST link, and
if that link is the Chip ram contention barrier, then all the effort in
other areas just won't show up. Please post when you get everything
optimized. I wish you best luck. TTFN
