Furthermore scrolling is absolutely free. You just write a pair of coordinates to the scroll register. That's it. Loading level data in four directions to the name/attr tables takes a bit more time, but, it's not significant compared to keeping track of objects. What takes up most of the horsepower is calculating a bunch of sprite positions and object hitboxes.
