I'm running a 2500/030. And you do NOT see any kind of performance speedup when IP redraws, for the simple reason that (a) we don't use the system routines to access the screen, and (b) when you put the ROM into RAM, you just chewed up 512k bytes of what IP *could* have used to put images and it's other data structures into. I I'm sure you see speedups on the WB; and that's fine. My WB is fast enough to suit me (I have run fastrom, and aside from the problems it causes, it does speed things up on the WB and etc) But for optimum IP or IM operation, fastrom should NOT be used unless you have more 32 bit ram than you'll ever need.
