There's been much discussion regarding improving GAPI. However, having moved from an iPaq 4155, I notice a HUGE difference in screen redraw speed. An example is watching the screen redraw when browsing files in File Explorer or Pocket Word. When the SIP is collapsed, the redraw is very noticeable and slow, as is scrolling.

This is really annoying, and it persists even with the processor running full speed (though it is better than when in power saving mode).

I've noticed that the redraw is much faster using "Real VGA" mode--that is, with pixel doubling disabled. When I reboot with SE_VGA set to Real VGA, the display redraw becomes noticeably faster.

So, my question:
Is there a way to speed up the screen redraw when using non-GAPI applications?

Another observation which could be helpful:

When I use "Force Hi-Res" http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1296 to put Pocket Word into HiRes mode, it becomes SUPER fast but looks no different, including the title bar. I imagine that this is because pixel doubling is disabled. Apparently it's the pixel doubling that slows things down so much. SO...is there a way to shut it off w/o messing up the display?

Using WM2003SE.

Why, oh why do I always ask the questions no one can answer...on every forum? :(

So...BUMP!!!

Sorry i don't have an answer to your question but I don't think that pocket word is suffering from pixel doubling since it is vga optimised by default.
