BTW, NVDI 2.5x also has some blitter optimized code, and also uses TAS in non-hog mode. It is used there for vertical lines, filled rectangles, and blitting. I'm not sure whether later NVDI versions have blitter specific code; the MVDI sources that are available in the MagicMac repo (which are based on 3.13) don't have any.
