Maybe just beam the voice over computations to the GPU with all graphics down. That's a great idea. The UIKit will still be loaded but no graphics. it would be like having a multitasking, mouse or trackpad enabled unix front.
One of the issues I see with graphicsless is for safari. But then that's webKit in terms of framework. So turning that on is fine since the labelling is there, and the notion through appKit and UIKit that the references are already established. I don't see why a graphicsless mode shouldn't be considered. Lots of plus to it, it enables voice over users, including IOS, to avoid those extenuatingly long animation phases that I can give two tosses about as a blind user. Knowingly that this processing, everytime, is being used so that some scroll bar can scroll in with the rest while I can't see it kind of irritates me, to be honest. Just as a segway, if anyone here is good at xml, or python or js, please contact me off list. I am trying to render the entire world of warcraft accessible and have gone a fair bit in the nodes list (js coders i'm sure this rings a bell).
