The layers don't (yet) know about
translucent layers, so that won't
work just yet.
I admit to not understanding the
appeal of double-buffering, especially
the claim that it is more efficient.
You're doing twice the work in twice
the space, because the video card
manufacturers are skimping on good
double-ported memories. To me, it
seems like a software solution to a
hardware problem. Someone set me
straight.
