The biggest gain we got was in blitting;  as I mentioned, blitting
only on 8 bit boundaries made a big difference.  Also, you probably
already know this, but some operations are done pretty boneheadedly,
like drawing rectangles and lines (as I recall, the rectangle routine
was pretty funny to look at;  kind of like looking at the bit manipulation
routines).

Good luck with it!  BTW, what is CTD?  I used to work in CTOS at
Corporate, and that's a new acronym by me.
