Yes, I understood that part in your first mail. My point was that while the 
implementation of native quartz MAY be more efficient, using DirectDraw in 
Wine is not faster than using GDI directly per se. That doesn't mean that 
native can't be faster than builtin, but that would be because of a better 
implementation, not because it uses 2D ddraw. Direct3D, on the other hand, 
would be hw accelerated, and thus faster. Sorry that I didn't make this 
clear.
