I guess you must pre-fill the background with a HAM constant blue color?

Have you measured how many such polygons this allows you to draw per frame? I guess that's solely limited by blitter line drawing speed?
I often find myself wishing the Amiga had a variable bitplanes HAM mode.
Yes and yes

I chose HAM5 to draw a little less lines, because the line count escalates. The break-even point just to save the polygon filling comes pretty soon. But with the right application and object, perhaps something could be done.
