Scenario:  Have a 2000 with an 040, Toaster and a DCTV.  Can't afford
a single frame record deck.  Need to do single frame recording
Compromise:  Try to get decent frame rate from DCTV anims.
Results:  Way too slow on the 2000 with 040.

Hi.  I have a DCTV and the money to buy a machine (3000 or 4000), but
I have nowhere near the amount of money needed to buy a single frame
record deck.  What I want to know is what sort of frame rate I can
expect to get with an Amiga 3000/4000.  I know that the 32 bit access
to CHIP should make a significant difference.  Even my 040 2000 is
dog slow.  Could somebody with a 3000 or hopefully 4000 and DCTV
play a decent sized collection of anims (with varying deltas)
and give me the results, ie can you get 30 frames a second with
large deltas?  I will post any results I may get.

PS- Please use anims with non-trivial deltas and full overscan.
