I should have mentioned that the "hsync" counter was up around 229 when
using 32x28 (896) polygons per frame.

By removing the drawObject() call, that number went down to about 43.
(of course, the object didn't appear on the scree, which is not the best
way to speed things up!  :-)

This tells me most of the time is spent in the actual drawing function,
as opposed to the basic OT setup, etc.

Again,
Any insights appreciated.
