[haiku-appserver] Re: drawing thread

OK, OK one more update:

The difference between the setup as below, and the triple setup, is 
that in the setup below the blit from back to front buffer has to be 
done and completed _during_ retrace (doable I would guess);
While with the triple version you only need to flip during retrace. 
Actual drawing from back to 'front' buffer may here be much slower.
