I haven't seen the picture you refer to, but I thought "FastBench" was a
side-effect of Dave Haynie's SetCPU program.  When you use SetCPU to map
the system ROM into fast memory, SetCPU changes the name of the Workbench
screen to "FastBench".  As far as the marble texture goes, that can be
done with any one of several PD programs that show an IFF picture as the
Workbench background.  I don't know where that IFF can be had, though.
