The results are in Msec/operation.
And here are my results, also in Msec/operation:

Driver                Line Rectangle Ellipse BitBlt StretchBlt Scroll  Fill

I use the same software but 386SX/16Mhz system, Paradise 16bit card with 512K.

Right. I also use the 8514/A fonts.

Conclusion:
It seems that the paradise at 16bits is much slower than the tseng at 8 bits.
Most annoying weaknes is scrolling.
Scrolling a window is AMAZINGLY slow using the Paradise card!
