Can anyone tell me which is better to use, fbl or CPUBlit for speeding up 
the Amiga's display (supposedly)?  I have an A3000/030/25MHz, and I'm 
wondering if either of these programs can pose any kind of problem, 
perhaps causing the system to crash at any time, etc.

Do they actually make any difference?  I've tried each one, and I didn't 
really notice anything...except my machine seemed to crash more often, 
but it may have been something else causing that.

Thanks.

They both speed it up significantly.  I don't know which is better.  But AIBB
noted more than subtle changes.
