Again, not exactly easy - but definitely possible and definitely much quicker than running code & blitter from chipmemory/slowmemory. Which is exactly why I lament the lack of fastram expansions for the most common Amiga.

I think this is a very good point. FastRAM seems the way to go. What are the options here for the Amiga 500 (except for turbo cards)?
