Most of these drivers (especially the binary-only ones) are optimized for
"normal" games, which just want to draw textured polygons.

I haven't tried GGI on that Indy machine yet. It /used/ to be quite fast
when I swapped buffers instead of doing partial updates, though, so I
guess not using glCopyPixels() would help improve performance. I'll have
to check whether the new graphics system design will help here (and I
better continue documenting my proposal, too).
