Just a quick thought,
What games could be accomplished on the ol` SAM, everybody always
says about how underpowered the SAM is in Mode 4, but when I`m
playing more Spectrum games recently, I`m getting a certain shock as to
how many games ran at perhaps lower than 8 fps, and yet it doesn`t
matter
to output the source code .. then
each sprite draw will be a jump table call

Chris,
Is this also true for music? Would it have any direct benefit?

not to sure on music .. but .. reading n writing to ram was always its
contention .. mostly the screen banks .. if music and player was kept in a
sep bank then i would assume it have little benifit .. depends on the size
of code that was outputed
You'll have contention wherever you stick it
