Firstly, I'm assuming the GBA ports of Wolfenstein, Doom, et al all employ mode 4...?

If so, has anybody out there put together a speed comparison between mode 4 versus hardware sprites for performing the same tasks...?

Just wondering, as I'm putting together a project which exceeds the rather limited no. of sprite blocks available on the GBA hardware, so was wondering whether hardware sprites plus software blitting would produce a result of reasonable speed...?
