the pat patch is very effective for me in many situations.
however, there are some paths through the draw code
that are not optimized, or, still require large reads from
the frame buffer.  and a few cards (especially nvidia
ones) have other performance problems that seem unrelated.
i get about a 10x speedup from the pat patch for most
operations.  bringing a partially obscured large window to
the foreground is not one of them.

note to self: raise the priority of getting to that intel
gma driver.
