I'd love to hear how that goes. I've never written any code for OS 9 or earlier. I have heard many things about the brilliance of QuickDraw for writing very fast 2D drawing code on the very limited hardware of the time. I have not heard anything about the actual experience of writing software with QuickDraw calls.
I'd also be really interested to know how SDL2 would fare by comparison. Would it be as fast on old hardware? It wasn't built with the assumptions of that old hardware in mind, so I would be very surprised if it performed as well.
