1) B&W runs _faster_ than 8-bit pseudocolor/greyscale.

2) No, greyscale would need basically the same functionality in the
kernel as the color.

3) It depends.  NOTE: Some seem to work with Taras' color grf driver,
but others don't.  I don't remember writing "any QuickDraw compatible
card should work" in the colorkit's README file, but if it says so,
it's not a correct statement.
