It might have made a difference back in the day, but now... ???
I had a discussion very recently with the guy who is porting Pentagram 
(Knight Lore sequel) to the Atari 8-bit. I mentioned that I was 
considering pre-flipping all the sprites as an optimisation on the Coco3 
which would require an additional 16KB of RAM. His response was that it 
was a "waste of memory". I thought it a funny comment to make, because 
the memory is just sitting there empty if I don't use it! :)
Regards,
