In article <5795@rosie.NeXT.COM> aozer@next.com (Ali Ozer) writes: One final note... Flushing 2-bit windows with alpha to a 12-bit screen is rather slow, and I believe this is what causes Frame to run real slow on a NSC when the window depths are limited. If you don't limit the depth, Frame's windows become 12-bits (with alpha), and in that case the flush is much faster. Ali, Ali_Ozer@NeXT.com I don't limit the depth (at least I did nothing to limit it), but FrameMaker runs real slow on my NSC after it is launched. To speed it up, I change some characters to Red, then back to black, thus, according to Ali's explaination, promotes the windows to 12 bits. Is there an easier way? -- Paul F.
