I wrote a Mandelbrot Set generator for my graphical calculator. The thing
only had about 400 words of program store, and it took an hour to draw a
96 by 64 pixel image. (I think I used an iteration limit of about 16)

If you have linux (or probably other UNIX), you should try out Xaos. It
has a ncurses (i.e. character) mode, and can do real time zoom - quite
surreal. Manages about 200fps of standard 80x25
