For those who are interested, here are the results of my tests with 
"Let1kWindowsBloom"

# of seconds to open and close 1000 windows:

OS 9.2.1 / No Card                                     39"
OS 9.2.1 / Radeon / No Drivers                 47"
OS 9.2.1 / Radeon / Drivers                     27"

OSX / No Card                                         142"
OSX / Radeon / Drivers                         120"

OSX / Classic / No Card                          40"
OSX / Classic / Radeon                           30"

Times are an average of three test for each configuration. Card is a 
Radeon Mac Edition.

Times in OSX are considerably slower, but still,  there is acceleration. 
This is especially clear in Classic mode, where the only drivers are 
those supplied by OSX, the others being disabled.

I think the slower times in OSeX are due to the higher system overhead 
of the Aqua environment. Perhaps times would be better if I had more 
RAM - I only have 192 MB installed right now.

Cheers - Steve K.
