There used to be dire warnings about using 8n1. Whether that still
applies, I don't know, but many of those speed-up hacks do so by not doing
proper error checking, etc. (it's "quicker" not to do everything a serial
port is meant to).
Chip RAM VGA screen modes do mean that there is less time available for
the CPU to do other things that you want to be doing. I found web
browsing to be abominable, because to run the browser with enough colours
to see a page at a reasonable level (and I was only using 64 colours),
meant it kept crapping out during file transfers. That was on an AGA
A1200, with a 33MHz 68030 with MMU, 33 MHz 68882 FPU, and 16 megs of RAM,
by the way.
