Don't know about DCTV, but HAM-E is most definitely NOT CPU intensive. Nor is
it billed as 'a magical solution to 24 bit graphics', ie. it is not a solution
to hardware independent, full function grphics. It _IS_ a way for those
involved in graphics to get capabilities previously unobtainable or very
expensive.

It is not possible to both understand and appreciate Intel CPUs.
