Short: Speed up blitter-wait operations.
Author: Dave Jones (DJones@CardiffCyberCafe.Co.Uk)
Uploader: Dave Jones (DJones@CardiffCyberCafe.Co.Uk)
Type: util/boot
Replaces: util/boot/fastblt.lha
This is version 2.8 of my FastWaitBlit patch, which
speeds up multi-tasking, and so isn't too benchmark-able.
You *May* experience lower benchmarks on certain graphics
operations in (for example) AIBB, but if you run lots of
tasks, and your main task isn't too graphics-intense, then
you won't wait around as much.
People have told me that my patch isn't as fast as *Art's
FasterBlit patch, the reason for this, is that my patch
works in a different way to *Art's. His increases graphics
performance, and mine increases multitasking performance.
Take your pick.
Or, you can run the Non-DMA version of my patch in conjunction
with *Art's FasterBlit, which will use an optimised version
of the graphics library WaitBlit() function, without my
dynamic DMA (tm) idea.
