OK, I moved the CGX monitors (BVisionPPC and CGXAGA) from Devs:monitors (I
assume this is enough to disable CGX) and booted into AGA mode. I set
screenmode to 640 x 512 (PAL HighRes laced) and 8 colours. 

I found the problem still persists. 

I made sure by measuring the time taken to scroll through a long message in
the read window and in the compose window.

These are the results: 

Scroll from top to bottom of a 623 line message: 

Compose window:    40 seconds

Read window:          1 min 40 seconds.

OK, I tried both the lib from SM Ver0.26 (SimpleHTML.libtrary ver 0.18) as
well as the one from SM 0.25 (ver 1.-1) and found that the problem
dissappears with ver 1.-1 (the one from SM Ver 0.25).

It would appear that way. 

Kind regards,
