Each CopyPlane is 32 bytes; a typical monochrome text string will use fewer bytes for each glyph. For larger glyphs, it's a small win, but there aren't very many of them on the screen. For really large glyphs, it turns out to be a small win to use FillRectangle instead; FillRectangle has the added feature of working with all colors as well; for the PutImage case, you have to use a temporary stipple when painting colors other than 0 or ~0.
