The latest NVidia's and ATI cards are very fast at 3D (heaps of tests on
the PC hardware sites) compared to everything else available and as good or
better at 2D which is what we deal with in Logic. 

My guess is that it would be some combination of CPU speed and 2D graphics
performance of the adapter that would determine how quickly the switch of
screens happened. You can see the role of the CPU when you run a song which
really loads the CPU -- graphical operations really slow down. This is
where the Dual Processor helps in DP Macs -- one CPU is always ready for
graphics tasks even if most of its performance is going begging -- ie not
available for plugs except on input objects. 

Nevertheless the latest card would proabably have to help to some degree.
