Think about it...  here's this beautiful, fast CPU chip, ready to do marvellous
things; ready to go looking for a race against the best that Intel has to
offer; ready to whip the competition, and what do they get to do?  Yeah...  you
got it..  they get to hang around updating screens, refreshing windows,
handling sounds..  you know..  all the grunge work.

Sorta like putting cheap tires on a Grand Prix car.
