Thanks.

I noticed it especially opening the owner's manual for my car. The first
page is a picture of the car, and with 6, it would take several seconds to
draw the page, one horizontal rectangular strip at a time, whereas with 5
it takes about a second.

It might be more noticable on slower machines. I have a PII 450. If a PII
450 is slow, what was a Pentium 90?
