Inspired by the work @paraj has done for TFX, etc. I am thinking that the best way to approach this is to have a planar version of the text plotter write to a single plane in fast ram. This plane can be qucikly zeroed first, written to and then copied wholesale to a bitplane in the display.
The plan here is to forego having different coloured text and choose an index that hopefully lets me get away with just writing a single bitplane. The assumption here is that if you are in 2/3 mode on AGA you probably want to be as fast as possible.
I will also add an option to enable/disable messaging entirely.

I don't recall the details of the engine, but is it an option to plot the characters to the chunky buffer? I suspect that will be the fastest. Of course if the words are "pre-wrapped" or the C2P introduces distortion that might be a problem.
