You want slow? Try the console on an Alphastation 200 with a ZLXP-Ex
TGA card. Scrolling a full screen one line literally takes seconds.
It apparently does so at high IPL since this messes up the system clock,
too.

Ha! You think that's slow? What is slow is an AlphaServer 1000A
with the on-board graphics chip! It scrolled at about one line per
second. At the next DECUS symposium I hunted down the project
engineer and told him exactly what I thought of his implementation.

Other than that one problem, the 1000A was excellent. After
installing a decent graphics card (a cheap ATI card that Fred K.
recommended), it has been a rock-solid machine for the last ten years.
