"Hiden surface removal actually SPEEDS UP the graphics processing, because
less lines are drawn" — is that true on the Amiga (where the blitter helps
a bunch on line speed), or only on the ST? (That's an unfair question,
because I'm sure it's hard to measure… how hard is it to reassemble the
program to leave out the hidden line removal? If that's not so hard, it'd
be interesting to see if the Amiga's greater line draw speed makes up for
the additional lines that have to be drawn). – Bela
