Speed
=====
CyBlaFB is much faster than tridentfb and vesafb. Compare the performance data
for mode 1280x1024-[8,16,32]@61 Hz.
Test 1: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 0 characters.
Test 2: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 80 characters.
Test 3: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 160 characters.
All values show system time use in seconds, kernel 2.6.12 was used for
the measurements. 2.6.13 is a bit slower, 2.6.14 hopefully will include a
patch that speeds up kernel bitblitting a lot ( > 20%).
