Yeah, but if I anderstand corectly, when moving the window, cpu usage 
rised (sane) *and* FPS raised (completly insane)!!!

But talking about sane.... specialy when hardvare suported, shuld not GL 
be able to synk FPS with the monitors vertikal refreshrate (if it can be 
reached).... Seams like a complite waste of cpu cycels to produce more 
frames than the monitor can show - and can reasnobel only give worse result!
