the original on POSE:NR70. Interestingly, using the same method, whether
with an armlet or with 68K code, slows things down on my ARM-based NX70.
(In the armlet case this may be due to cache issues making very small
It is noticibly faster. You can still watch as the words are rendered
line by line, but it does seem to go faster. Granted, this is based
