Yes, but only for a few bit planes, typically 2 or 3. REBOL uses a full
24-bit compositing engine, which requires quantization and
C2P-conversion in real-time. Other Amiga programs with similar
functionality (24-bit paint programs etc.) are similarly slow.
View does support hardware scrolling, but most programs do not make use
of it.
