-> So it is faster, especially with slow computers/video cards.

Actually, the distinction between CH and CI was abolished starting
with Signature. They're identical; both behave the way CI did in
III+. To display each change on screen while the operation is in
progress, you need to use the CHANGE command. See "Signature -
Making the Transition" at page 3-4 ("Change Commands").
