I remember posting this subject yonks ago (when I got the book in fact) and
the consensus was that if the screen used the system palette and the gworld
too, then this serves no purpose, only if you use different palettes does
this speed things. (and of course, if you're not working in 256 colors, you
have no palettes..)
