Cons:
        really hard to understand
        implementation does not use the HW acc to the max
                - it tried something better than in R5, but that
                cannot be HW accelerated.
        refactoring is need
        not so clean interface
Pros:
        it is fast, really.
        does its job :-)

        Don't know...
        I see no reason to look elsewhere because we have one that works
pretty well. We just need to make it prettier :-) and remove the things
we don't need anymore because the HW cannot use them.

        Possible...
        But after me and Stephan and you finish the new implementation,
I don't think there will be. ;-)
