I did notice the screen update was way faster. Was expected naturally. 
Ha I'm sure the original C64 versions was made like it was so parts could be reused, so the slow rendering which has never been an issue I will admit must be as the computer digs about picking out GFX that it requires from memory. Stage 1 and the original design the game would work around does repeat it's self here and there. I take it the C64 would also have less free memory over all to run the game than the full 64k as people might think so that's why it had to be optimized in this manor?
I'm guessing the Plus4 screens are whole single pictures with an interaction animation running on the top as to why it would be quicker? Sorry if I think of it in this way at this time not knowing better, no offence intended. Just pure respect no matter how it works. Something I could not do!
