speed of text applications...

What does NiftyList use for I/O anyway?  It scrolls so FAST! I don't use it (
don't know how :), but I occationally call it up just to "feel" like a real
toolbox programmer :P

If enter "???????????????????" or "llllllllllllllllllllll", NiftyList will then
print them on the screen _really_ quickly, faster anything I know on the GS.  I
notice that GSbug scrolls fast too ( gsbug is another "real programmers tool"
which I don't use :).  Why?  Is it because interrupts are disabled when you're
in CDA and/or GSbug?  Other CDA don't scroll anywhere near the speed of NL or
GSbug.

How fast is GNO?
