I've been looking through the samples in the DDK and running some
timing test of my own and from what I can see, the drivers are the key
to Windows speed. In particular the EGA/VGA driver code that comes with
the DDK seem very general but at the cost of speed. Has anyone seen any
drivers that are written to optimize speed of drawing (perhaps at the
cost of generality)?
