Hi,
here is a patch that increases speed of Picasso screen updates dramatically on my machine. The speed increase on your machine may not be that dramatically because it depends on your Linux distribution and version of libsdl.
On my Ubuntu installation sdl 1.2.9 (current official version of Ubuntu
Dapper) is VERY slow (it draws only 125 filled rectangles per seconds).
The attached patch replaces many calls of SDL_UpdateRect() with a single
call of SDL_UpdatedRects() which calls XSync() only once for the whole
bunch of rectangles (invalid line blocks).
Regards, Jochen

what is the complete command to patch the file?
