Solved the performance problems by introducing the concept of a single-buffered display, which is a fast path used for the whole-surface SDL 1.2 API. Solved the flicker problems by implementing a backbuffer in the GDI renderer. Unfortunately, now using the GDI renderer with a backbuffer and HBITMAPs is significantly slower than SDL's surface code. *sigh*

call has some processing overhead. This is no restriction since you
can pass any number of rectangles each time.</P

>The rectangles are not automatically merged or checked for overlap. In
general, the programmer can use his knowledge about his particular
rectangles to merge them in an efficient way, to avoid overdraw.</P
