OK folks.  On an WCW MG-1 workstation, I got this yesterday:

Offset		Mono display		Prototype colour display
  0              189,000 pixels/sec.           150,000 pixels/sec.
  1              113,000                       136,000
 20              113,000                       136,000
100              114,000                       137,000

The colour software is only one day old!  (For those who are interested,
it's slated to be released at the end of the year).   Note,  there is
no hardware assist for line drawing.
