32-bit QuickDraw in SSW 6.0.8 - Any Point For a Mac Plus?

Paralel

Does 32-bit QuickDraw in SSW 6.0.8 actually serve any purpose for a Mac Plus, as in does it actually work with the programs that need it or can use it, or is it just wasting space? I have read conflicting opinions on this. I'm thinking it doesn't actually do anything given the nature of B&W Quickdraw in ROM not seeing an update until System 7.

As far as I know 32-bit QuickDraw replaces the ROM routines so it doesn't matter what's in the machine's ROM as to whether or not you should use 32-bit QuickDraw. But I'm still not sure that it's worth installing 32-bit QuickDraw on a Mac Plus because the Mac Plus is probably not going to be powerful enough to run most of the software that uses 32-bit QuickDraw anyway.

 
Ok, that's what I figured. I have to delete it off of my HD20 Emu for the Plus then. No point in keeping it around if its not being used.
