To be honest, it's not even a good idea in palette modes, because performance is just horrible.You are right if you point out, that this way consumes some CPU power.
That is only true when using 8 bit chunky mode, which very few does. In most cases, 8 bit and less is bitplane graphics, and converting a Device Independent Format bitmap to screen format in these cases is a straight forward copy operation.
But it is the clean way and will work with every hardware.
Exactly.Jo Even
