@ James
I have attached my script to change the screen depth.

@Tomeu
Is there any possiblity of Sugar changing its default depth to 24  in the
feature? By what you say it seems like this is a problem with sugar. So is
it acceptable for my Activity to change the screen depth so that it runs
faster?
