The graphics performance is not just slow, it is ABYSMAL!

My personal experience from trying to port my App is that classical GDI,
specifically anything to do with Bitmaps and compatible dc, runs at less
than 5% of the speed of a native windows App.

Secondarily, there are faults in the implementation of some GDI functions,
especially fonts, but even simple line drawing and polyfilling is faulty.

This does not seem to be of concern to any of the developers as my previous
posts on the subject have been ignored.  I'm not sure if there is anyone
actively supporting GDI functionality.  Or at least not anyone watching this
newsgroup.
