Yup, but I'm just saying that there isn't "enough" serious graphical
applications on the GS for you to say graphical long, that's all. :)
We NEED more serious graphics apps!

I have.  Not to slight Jawaid or anything but the answer I got to this
was vaguely that you can cache graphics in the SS vid memory, but I believe
there's a limit to this with any serious use would overflow the buffers.
I imagine running flipping through some menus, opening some windows in
finder and things would slow down back to normal GS drawing speed.

I seriously hope I'm wrong. :)
