It would take more horsepower to redraw a given screen faster. If the screen has greater "depth" (thousands compared to 256) it will take even more "horsepower." Depending on your machine, you might be able to add VRAM chips (Color Classic?). Don't know which compacts have adequate expansion capabilities to add in a faster video processor, but that might be another option.
