Hi,

I'm using one of the older Adafruit i2c 16x2 RGB LCD Pi Plates with a Rasp. Pi 2 Model B v1.1
CircuitPython_CharLCD is working fine, but message draw is slow compared to the legacy library here https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code/tree/legacy/Adafruit_CharLCDPlate.
You can see each letter drawing in turn, whereas the legacy code is almost instant.

Thanks,
