Thanks, Jonas.

I wouldn't expect the framebuffer patch to be so much slower,
but hopefully it's a silly mistake or some unnecessary draw calls
that can be eliminated. I'll take another look and see if anything
stands out.

Hi Kyle!

This is awesome! The browser now fetches pages from the web :-)

The patch for the plan9 framebuffer driver is also cool,
but I notice that it makes things _much_ slower when I
run the program remotely. The time to load the welcome
page was 20 seconds before the disfix patch, and 8.5 minutes
when applied. Then I am running the executable on a
machine somewhere on the internet and display the window
on my terminal. I will look at your patch in detail later!

Very much thanks for the work, a milestone!

Jonas
