Try to go to Scala, and tell them you want to see their product
running on xx different platforms. They'll laughing at you! :-)

REBOL/View is slow because it is too general. Its engine is really
powerful (perhaps it only lacks alpha blending). It can surely be
speeded up by using a less general approach for the common cases
(see the speed gain we got with the buffering of opaque faces).
