Well, they have to call SetPort() or NewWindow(). I'd suggest trying to
graph_update_port() to the port that we're leaving when either of those
calls is invoked; this would require fewer updates (Impl.d).
(Yes, only updating the dirty rectangles would be even better, but
those games use Graph() as well to do some custom drawing that isn't
updated automagically).

Hmm... A possibly related question: How does DrawCel() handle it if view
and loop are correct, but if cel is too high?
