Amiga graphics is slow due to two things, one the copper shares access to it, and planar format, 8 writes to change a pixel (as long as your willing to discard the 7bits per plane (8*7=56bit), you are not intended to change), you can use BSET or BCLR, but even this need read value from CHIP, and modify a bit, and write it back, this where complicated and wasteful, 16 read/write operations, and slow access. Maybe something like 32 times slower.

let’s go back to 1993 and see what they where talked about back then.

f the A1200 would have sold one year earlier and perhaps some Fastram added it would have perhaps made a difference.

VGA was ready in 1987, sure they sold 486sx computer into 1990's, dx (fpu) where also starting to be common, the big thing for PC's was introduction of PCI 33mhz in 1992.
