It would be possible, but it would require that the X server keep
track of the contents of every window.  I believe this is something
being put into the DAMAGE extension, so in that case, it is possible.

I'm not sure about whether or not it would help with the TV.  I
suppose both fields were rasterized and then you switched, that would
work out well.
