Even if the blit is already finished and there is no need to wait you still have to take the extra instructions needed to wait for the blitter to finish into account. If it's a tight loop which runs in 1 frame on a 68000 machine with not many cycles left it is entirely possible that the patched version won't run in 1 frame anymore.
