Yes, I read that. But in QEmulator the speed difference is noticeable. Also Minerva cannot use fat fonts in Mode 8 but Speedscreen can.

Somewhere on this forum Dave said he tested both and Speedscreen is faster. I have not tested Lightning yet, but I'll give it a try.

Speedscreen doesn't work in SMSQE. But also there is no need for Speedscreen in SMSQE.
SMSQE is fast and it also correctly renders fat fonts in both Mode 4 and Mode 8.
