Fast Graphics on 3653
The expected speed for a 36xx class machine drawing lines is just about
the same as a Mac II (68020 variety) using QuickDraw. This is by no
means high-performance graphics (in either case).
If you are using the graphics:draw-line interface and want performance
at the expense of generality, you should note the following:
- try to avoid any keyword arguments other than :stream. This will
invoke a compiler optimizer to a fast entry-point.
- leave the transform matrix alone (including using
graphics:with-room-for-graphics).
- draw thin lines in :thickness 0, not :thickness 1.
