RE: DDraw Blt vs BltFast

 Do you have even a tiny bit of information about these certain
 functions that you'd like to impart?  Or is this an even higher level
 version of the I don't see why they don't...

 I'm really surprised to see this attitude.  It's quite disappointing.

Dick-head mode detected... aborting conversation.

You should be surprised to see that attitude because you are completely
misinterpreting what I have said.  Just forget it.

 Ralf,
 
 Those are some very interesting results.  I especially like 
 the ones where Cygwin is 10 to 1000 times slower than Linux 
 :)  Oh well... I can't bitch anymore for fear of obligating 
 myself to contribute to Cygwin proper.
 

Lol! Seriously though, I'm quite excited by what Ralf has been working
on, and the cygserver is in HEAD now, so cygwin 1.11 will have it, and
Ralf's patches don't need to be against a development branch.

 Fine.  But how do you implement them on 9x/Me?

Perhaps the same way I implemented FIFO's, but easier as the semantics
seem less complex to me. 

Anyway, sure we don't need to have bot NT and 9x all at the same time...

 Sounds logical to me.  There is no reason to limit the 
 performance on 
 Windows NT/2000/XP just because there would need to be a seperate 
 routine for Windows 95/98/Me.
 
 I'm glad it sounds logical.  Cygwin already has lots of code 
 that is NT specific, e.g., CYGWIN=ntsec.

I agree. I got the impression from Corinna's email that what Ralf was
suggesting needed a 9x equivalent to be seriously considered. I'm not
100% sure why I got that impression though

Ok.  The horse is starting to decompose.  I'm not going to whack it anymore.

This is all actually off-topic for this mailing list anyway.

I assume that Suhaib and Harold are just being too polite to inform us of
that fact.

Do you have to ?

You could allow more functional platform in the source tree to have
this new functionality while leaving the DOS based Windows at the current
support.

Yes - this will complicat matters and will probably need some kind of
abstraction layer in the source to 'hide' the difference for
most developer, but the gain for the more advanced platforms is certainly
worth it
