I have uploaded a test project to my site that shows better then I can explain (http://www.eonclash.com/JumpStart/FPC/SpeedTest.zip). Basically when in windowed mode everything is ok (well the speeds are around 60-70 FPS on my system). When switched to full screen (ALT+ENTER) the FPS drops to about 2. The ONLY thing that this app is doing is drawing a single image onto the screen. No transparency, scaling at full screen is all. Any ideas on how to make it faster w/o going to GL+SDL (I know that that will speed things up).
