Cool, all good things to know.  I will post all this information, and all 
then numbers I can get under the FAQ, when we get a running version of the 
EPIA-M code.
Thx

Yep.  Its got run the factory vgabios which has a lot of delays in it
and writeing to video memory is slow in general although no where near
as slow as writeing to the serial port.
