Yep, for ARM-Cortex A8 users that sure sounds enticing, but I am on a PowerPC platform (without Altivec, that is) ;-) But I think there is still quite something that can be gained by optimizing bit-blitting outines in kDrive-fbdev for PowerPC. PowerPC is a platform that is quite sensitive to all sorts of optimizations.
