I've got a question for some of those allegro guru's out there.  I'm
writing a program right now that uses lines of length 2 to 4 pixels
long.  I'm using 640x480x256 grphics mode and I'm wondering if it's
faster to do a vline or 2 inline _putpixel's.  I would think that doing
the putpixels would be faster, but I'm not sure.  At some point they one
becomes faster than the other. Does anyone know which is faster for
certain length lines? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks a
lot!
