One of the things I hope they include with this is the ability to do a direct copy of graphics from one slot to another. With the loss of palettes, the way animation on backgrounds will be done will have to be with writing over existing blocks (because keeping track of all spots on a background layer that are part of the animation sequence is far more process and memory intensive). Currently for such copying, we have to read each block into a string and then write to a different block. That takes a lot of processing of having to convert to a string and then converting back. Even if there is a raw data set and a string set for each block, it still has to convert to raw data when writing a block.
