  If you are using the code that I posted (months ago), it is slightly slower
on lines and slightly faster on polygons on a stock Amiga. On a 68030, lines
are slightly faster (short lines) and polygons are 2-3 times faster than my
custom blitter code (not system code). My custom blitter code is at least
50 percent faster than the system routines (I don't re-outline the mask).
  When I have some time, I'll re-post the latest versions of my routines.
