Well Yes I agree, I guess also it isn't. Its roughly the time you need to
copy 1 MB memory around. I just noticed that it is in fact after all still
unneccary and that in fact could be optimized away. As some
window-management could can be optimized away.

I would volunteer to take the time to code it, but only if i have a good
feeling that it would be accepted... if not, well than okay for me also, i
will do other things :o)

Greetings, Axel
