Just increase your color depth in MOL. If your MOL color depth is less than
your LinuxPPC color depth then MOL must dither the image down to the MOL
color depth. This wastes valuable CPU cycles. So just make both color
depths the same and you should see a performance improvement and the slow
video message will go away.
