Although I generally pleased with the overall appearance and performance of
WorkBench 2.0, I am somewhat disappointed by Commodore's Display utility.
It appears that Mostra easily outperforms Display in the time it takes to view
a typical IFF file; on average I would say that Display is about 5 times slower
than Mostra on my 2 MB 3000-16 under 2.0 (36.207/36.69).

I would appreciate any comments on Display's usefulness.  Is Mostra faster
because it is short-cutting something?  Is it simply using a better algorithm?

[To prevent the usual barrage of questions about Mostra, it can be found on
Fish 330]
