Anyone know what the new 2.0 function WritePixelArray8() serves
in life. Its man page is absolutely baffleing.

Any opinions are my own since nobody else would ever want them.

Having not seen the "man page", I can only guess ...

If you remember my demo of my USENIX Facesaver picture program on the Amiga
at FAUG last year, you'd remember how slow I commented the WritePixel()
routine is; Doug Merritt speeded it up by writing 8 bits at a time to the
bitplanes ... Facesaver picture picture display went from 32 seconds to less
than 1/4 second ... I suspect that's something along the lines of what the
new WritePixelArray8() "might" be doing.
