I have seen working code that render very fast in software,
the problem is, that it needs to be optimised for a specific task,
so it does not help libraries much that are generic.
So the structure

      a) hardware -- b) generic library -- c) flash player

does not allow a lot flash specifica optimisations,
in contrast to

	a) hardware -- c) flash player

but there you need to to the coding within c).
