An interesting note:  I got these values on my Atari 1040ST with Quick ST
but without any accelerator boards:

Bios text	339
Bios string	863
Bios scroll	170
GEM draw	121

Everything else had the same readings with and without Quick ST.

BTW: Who wrote Quick Index?  Is it the same company/person who wrote
Quick ST?
