 A friend of mine was given one of the first units in repay for some
 help he gave with their demo software. His casual observations: 
 
   In 8-bit mode it has performance on a par with Apple's 1-bit mode.
   In 24-bit mode it has performance barely noticeably slower than 
     Apple's 8-bit mode.

This sounds like your friend isn't running 32-bit Quickdraw, which is
considerably faster in the intermediate-depth modes.  Is he?
