Comment (by pulkomandy):

 That's cheating. It exposes a bug in our vsync code, which we should fix
 :)

 I don't really care about removing the demo, but the "how fast I am"
 doubles as a "see how I can use all your CPU power and make your machine
 heat up just to spin a teapot", which makes the demo not that great. With
 hardware acceleration it would be more acceptable, and even there, it
 makes no sense to render more frames than the hardware can display.

 A tearing-free teapot at full frame rate, no matter what the system load
 is, however, makes a more interesting demo of the multitasking features
 and how the system stays reactive even under heavy load. This is how I use
 the teapot when demoing haiku, with some videos playing in the background
 and using the remaining CPU time.
