 Now I've done some more playing around. And a big update.

 First: Cocoa mode is faster for text display. Dos mode text is nice, fast,
 crisp, and pleasant.

 Graphics mode, however, is different. Tested with XCom (with the 1.4
 patch, and xcomutil).

 Text mode is slow. But graphics are fast under sdl, and horrendously slow
 under cocoa.

 For game playing, the faster graphics makes the sdl version much, much
 nicer.
 For text work, the cocoa version is better.

 (But other than testing and preliminary checking, who uses text mode in
 dos?)

 The bottom line:
 SDL displays graphics faster, avoid sound errors, and seems to have fewer
 bugs / is more complete.
