I am sorry for sounding naive about this , but do you mean ti imply that I
cant fill a 640x400x4 plane screen in under  1/60th of a second?

Th NUMBER of colors in the BB box is NOT relevant in this case, since the
AMOUNt of data will be EXACTLY that as for the 640x400x4 (wich is what the
amiga see's it as).

I hope this isnt the case because the some demos I have seen will take the
news pretty hard.
