With their experience on all the multitude of IBM clones at varying
clock speeds, I would hope that Flight Simulator will keep track of
real time and produce as many refreshes as possible within the
real-time quantum.  Therefore, the blitter should in theory just
cause more refreshes, but not more airplane motion in a given
second.  Incidentally, my Cessna on my HP-Vectra(AT clone
at 8 Mhz) runs at the same speed as on an IBM-PC at 4.5? Mhz with
many more refreshes/second.
