*sigh*

It works better with my patch, thats why I did it ;)

Yes. DirectDraw was drawing over the whole screen for every frame displayed.

With my patch it does the full screen blt only once now, all others are
restricted to the area it actually changes.

No. If you use ddraw=n it will (I think) not use DDRAW, but fall back to use
DIB Sections.

Builtin. The native version of DDRAW does not work to my knowledge.
