Here's some fresh testresults, that might help your above theories:

No load except for KDE and a few kvts:

No swapping.

1. Mesa: AFAIK Mesa has some native S3 driver, but I don't know, if it works
under Unix - it might be for DOS/Win only - anyone ?
Windows only :(
2. SVGAlib: I don't know, if Mesa has an SVGAlib target, but I don't
recommend using it, if you want to go through LibGGI. Mesa has native
smpeg runs on top of SDL, which runs on top of GGI, shouldn't be
very difficult to make a wrapper that makes user think that is running
directly on top of GGI.
That's not quite the point. I think one should try to separate the
displaying part from the decompression part. I would e.g.

I proposed to separate the 'Visual' structure into a
'Drawable' and a part concerned about event handling.
The argument is quite in line with Andreas' request to

No. Even in X you can allocate an 'XPixmap' which is a 'XDrawable' without
any attached event queue. In X you need one 'XDisplay' representing the
connection and all
Any ideas on how Windows(-doze not appropriate here) does it?
It doesn't go through the net ?
On exactly the same hardware and a configuration of 2x2 screens,
1024x768 each, and 24 bit color depth, everything works wonderfully
smooth as if there was nothing to it.
Wait - we now have to

I have no idea.
AFAIK if you try to resolve a function name compiled with C++ from libdl,
it doesn't run...
Maybe one has to manually demangle the function

Probably, if the callable functions don't use C++-Features, that should
work.
*In* these functions you can use C++ features to you heart's content, as
long as the function's signature looks C-ish (i.e. you don't pass objects
etc).

It isn't, it depends on the mode and the target.
Well, in my case it is.
No, it isn't, as your log shows.

Which lookfeel has OpenAmulet? Is the lookfeel changeable?
Yes, that's one of the fun points about Amulet. You could change the
lookfeel to Mac, Win and Motif. I don't know, if they enhanced that
concept to get it kind of themeable.
That would be nice to have GGI-apps, which can have
