(1) Make gworld on VRAM. I will be possible with NewNewGWorld (?) Toolbox.
(2) Check the depth of gworld and monitor (Graphics Device)
(3) If you use CopyBits(), try Fdecompress QuickTime Toolbox, too. This
procesure draws picture sometimes faster than CopyBits and sometimes slower.
You will find demo code on icefloe at Apple's developer web site.
