IDL performance numbers.... [message #18563]

I was looking over JD Smiths IDL performance site:

http://www.astro.cornell.edu/idlspec/is2.html

And I was curious about something regarding the IDL spec peformance charts.

I notice that many "high end" machines showing amazing performance are run
using Pseudocolor 8 for graphics. Why would such a high end machine run
only 8 bit color ? Are they forcing it to improve performance within IDL.
I assume such tasks as volume rendering would run much faster in 8 bit, so,
is it realistic to force you're graphics card to do this ? Is this done
solely within IDL using Device ?
Is it typical for high performance IDL machines to run only 8 bit color ?

Just thought I'd ask
