     I can envision at a future time somebody allocating a background
     bitmap, rendering (and filling) the ellipse in the background by the 
     most efficient method available, then blitting (ClipBlitTransparent?)
     the resultant ellipse into the target area.  I would assume that the
     result would be faster than the writepixel-per-dot than is now done?

Great! Then maybe someone can teach Intuition to do its window rendering
into portholes.  (Could bols ewhacs give us a demo of this sometime?)
