True. But in this case, well you could plot every point on the hosts
display file from BASIC (probably) in a lot les time it takes the Sprow
ARM7 to do the calculations. So a larger buffer would not, in this case,
and, i suspect, many others.

On the other hand, it would really upset any attempts to read the
display file, unless system mods were put in to force flushing of that
buffer before the read.

Cheers!
