This is version 2.12 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.
