Does anyone think that Shadow RAM would be effective on an Ami?
For those of you who have never heard of this concept, I'll explain.
I was watching "the Computer Chronicles" a few days ago and they
were talking about ways of speeding up system.  One of the things
they mentioned was "Shadow RAM."  Basically this concept takes
routines from ROM and places them in RAM.  The claim is that RAM
is faster than ROM.  Would it be possible/worth the effort to
take some of the graphics primitives from RAM and store them in ROM?
