((READING INTENSIFIES))
Thanks Bubis, I will try and verify this in Yape. I already knew that the DRAM Refresh is somewhere at the right side and always wondered if this DRAM refresh is like a 'soft refresh' like on Atari XL where you still have some cycles left, or if it is a 'hard refresh' where the area is exactly 5ms on screen, where the CPU is completely blocked and therefore 'thinner'.
The Refresh on Atari is in the left side/middle the screen, but very wide. Almost a hand wide when placed on the screen. However, Graph2Font basically took the burden off me of cycle counting because it was made for this exact purpose. 
I want to do something in the sideborder, other than just showing bitmap. Like, changing colors, experiment with scrolling etc. and wanted to know how much time there is before and after the stretched area.
Thanks alot for this info, especially the contents of the raster counter registers!
