[pygame] Cheap COW clones for surfaces

I have been thinking for some time about how to optimise Pygame Zero games on Raspberry Pi. Most Pi models have multiple cores and an obvious improvement is to parallelise. Logic has to be synchronous but I would like to offload painting the screen to a separate thread. The problem I would have

As I recall, MP3 support isn't available in Pygame on every single platform, due to licensing issues. Presumably this is now no longer an issue: https://marco.org/2017/05/15/mp3-isnt-dead Is there anything Pygame has to do to ensure MP3 support is now always available? This would go a long way

Something that I think is important is that we should aim to avoid putting experimental stuff into Pygame. I think it's a mistake Kivy made: tightly coupling excellent work in OpenGL ES bindings and deployment on mobile, with a crude UI framework and runtime. I guess all I'm saying is that we
