What I did was putting 2 lines in Startup-Sequence to allocate about
1024 blocks for Bard's Tale II (sorry, I don't remember exact commands; my
machine is at home) and almost no more long wait for the images of the
ugly monsters to appear.

By the way, maybe it's just me but do you notice the monsters don't look
as nice as those in the original Bard's Tale (the number of colors seems
limited)?   I wonder if they try to use the same artworks for the lowly
Apple II gs :-> :->.  Pretty good game though.
