How about 5,000 sprite renders (H122xW84) to offscreen buffer in 12
ms?

Working with ChatGpt I got an average time (using 10 reps of 5,000
renders to get an average time for 5,000 renders) of 12 ms for a
sprite that is in RGBA pixel color format. If I invalidate the
sprite's rectangle EACH render to show it on screen, it slows to about
26 ms, which is still pretty fast. I'm going to convert one of my
playing card decks to my new sprite format. I already have some tools
to convert a bgi palette to colorrefs.

Along with saving and loading the new sprite format to disk I can also
export it to be included in the constant section (along with comment
info to remind to create type of constant for it) and I have
overloaded the drawing routine so one method draws from the constant
instead of the full sprite.
