The problem seems mostly due to XOR line drawing, which does a read and write
of every pixel it draws, which is slow.
I'm currently working on a replacement which adds "..._unxor()" functions.
At the moment, they just call the regular "...xor()" function, but the
eventual point will be to:
1. Replace XOR drawing with plain pixel pushing; writes only, no read/writes
This seems to work fast enough for most other things
2. Replace the new stub "un-XOR" functions with simple 'erase using the
contents of the canvas' blitting, which should be quite fast, hopefully...
Wish me luck!
