Need to speed it up so that Qemu is usable again. Workaround: Disable kernel framebuffer support to get a text-only console or use KVM or VirtualBox. Some areas of improvement: * It seems nearly all operations are done on a per-pixel basis without taking advantage of operating on many pixels * All pixel transfers always go through full alpha-blending even when the window is completely opaque * All pixel transfers go through full filtering even when the transformation is identity or mere translation * Alpha blending is computed in double floating point although the pixel buffers themselves are integer " defect closed major 0.6.0 helenos/unspecified mainline fixed
