Is using sprites much faster than blitting in mode 4?
Just wondering

Unless you have highly optimized blitting code, using hardware sprites would be faster.

The point is moot. Remmeber, you can use *both* hardware and software sprites together, so the best idea, imnsho, is to use all of the hardware sprites you can, and then software the rest.
Software sprites usually slower (although you can outblit the hardware if you're not rotating and scaling), however you can of course do things with them that you can't do with the hardware :-p
