Sorry, but this question wasn`t raised by me ..... I only stated that
CGFX is slower compared to retinaemu, so some people still use retinaemu
instead.

CGFX is available for some boards, but not for all. (e.g. not for RetinaZ2,
RainbowIII). Unfortunately there aren`t any dox about writing your own driver
available, so you`re not able to adapt your card to the "standard".

Faster is not true, compared to RetinaEMU using a Z3, or compared to EGS7.2.
(EGS is about 2.5 times faster on a EGS-Spectrum)
