Yes, it is very slow (unlike Retina BLt Z3, which is really fast under
NetBSD!), and

No, it can definitely do SUN-resolution (1152x900 in 8 bit) without
the tuning kit.

Apart from that the tuning kit is mere piece of software, and is
ignored by the NetBSD drivers, since these program the graphics chip
directly.
