Re: drawing performance

[Tomas Frydrych]

This was just a thought; I have not done any profiling. My logic was 
that (1) wordprocessing is intensive on str operations; (2) at least 
on the x86 processor basic str operations can be done very 
efficiently in assembler because of the dedicated str instructions.

I am aware of the x-platform issues, though.
