@Krill: Totally agree. It becomes even worse when you think about what "extra-duties" you have when it comes to games - which are in a way the "normal application" for this class of machines: Softsprites eat up most of the cpu-time. And those two badlines are only one side of the medal, the other side is you have to move twice the amount of memory for an entire video-matrix. Last not least the sound: You don't have any volume-envelopes. That means some extra cycles an memory to have something like that too.
So: yes, you have more cycles per frame, but for the "normal application" its not even compensating the features lacking from VIC2
