A few days ago I posted about a significant decrease in scrolling speed when
using 256-color mode in System 7.0. Dean Yu from Apple suggested I turn off
the colored windows using the Color control panel. This speeds things up
considerably.

Apparently the extra expense of drawing the color scroll bar and various
other window pieces is what causes the slowdown.
