I do not see how it would make any _noticeable_ difference for
UNIX either. The statement was 'X' performance, as in x11perf.
With the VGA BIOS non shadowed/in 8 bit mode, I was getting
~20,000 -dot per second. With the VGA BIOS shadowed or in 16 bit mode
I am getting ~50,000 -dots per second.
Hope this helps :-)
Karl.
