I'm not sure what the reasons of the display problems are, but I will try to
track it down (or at least make another entry in my TODO list about it:-). The
reason why output is so much slower is partially because accessing the VDC
*is* slower, and mostly because the ROM routines are used, which are a lot
more complex than writing directly to the screen.
