BTW I really think we can (and should) reduce this a bit more - the 
whole UI stands still during that period, so the BDirectWindow should 
never take that long anyway for one update.
Of course, I don't know yet how this would affect software GL stuff, 
but that shouldn't be too hard to find out; and in general, I guess we 
can safely consider anything that comes even close to half a second can 
be considered as a bug. Therefore, I think we might as well kill apps 
that need more than 1 second for its drawings.

Bye,
