Does the 3K-byte suggested restriction for CopyBits (mentioned in IM I)
still apply?  Does any such "restriction" still apply?  Obviously, even
a large menu requires more than 3K of cached bitmap underneath; is there
any advice on what the limits on the maximum size of a CopyBits transfer
ought to be?  The whole screen?  Whatever will fit on the stack?

Pardon me if the answer appears in some Tech Note somewhere, but I don't
have a complete set at the moment ...
