bah, not quite true. I've been redesigning craploads of stuff. I ran into
a bit of a wall getting cuts and reinserts working with multiple layers,
so now I'm working on a new backend.

I've tested Rad's "large file" patches but they don't seem to solve the
right problem; they implement some userspace paging but the real problem
is getting rid of excessive memory accesses when rendering. That patch is
excellent code, but seems to degrade performance if anything.

His other patches rock, and are in CVS.
