Unfortuneately one persons SLOOOOOOWWWWW is another's quite reasonable.
What CPU do you have and how much RAM ? Also, what screen mode are you
running in ? CyberGfx uses Chunky (256 colour) displays for all modes - so
it is probably slower in e.g. 16 colour modes when compared to the
VillageTronic software. Try comparing a 256 colour Village screen to a 256
colour Cyber Screen : for me the latter is easily faster (especially the
displaying of menus).

I've got a Picasso, A2000, 33MHz '030 and found things quite reasonable
with only 4 MB 32-bit Fast RAM (although things are better with 8 :-)

Hope this helps.
