Actually, the screen update looks a bit like that venetian blind effect in
Scala. Anyway, I use the intuition pointer ;-)

True, true - but the PC version's running from hardfiles. (I'm assuming
these are fast on the PC because of large disk-caches - at least until /they/
end up in virtual memory ;^D)

Since we were originally talking about the speed of 68k emulation in
isolation, compared with emulating an entire machine, I was thinking in
terms of grabbing the Mac RC5 client and getting a key per second count.
