Yes I got a commodore XT-card running with a Herculesvideo card.
Both the Hercules and the Ami-window can monitor the same output.
Then you can see that the window is indeed slower.
I have no answer nor a solution for this. Sorry it is just happening

BTW somehow it aint fair, a m68k running as a I/O processor for a Intel8088.
(But life goes on. sigh)
