For a good example of the benefits of aligning the window download the program
"Color Globe". (I'm pretty sure it's on Sumex -- if not Email me and I'll
send it in.)  This program draws a rotating globe in color, displays the
frame/second rate, and has a menu command to align the window. (To what
boundary I don't know.)

On my un-accelerated Mac II it achieves 45 frames/second with a randomly
placed window, and 50 with it aligned.
