Using store queues to copy stuff over to VRAM is faster.

Yeah, most people use SQs or DMA. But you should leave in the current VRAM tests even if you add more, because more information when dealing with an overclocked DC can never hurt.

Oh, and yes, the SH4 is a FP monster. That's why it was so well suited to 3D.
