It's all part of the same problem. AM doesn't yet have any code to tell 
OSX 'Update the screen NOW' So AM changes the window buffer and OSX 
updates the window at some point where system events are being 
processed.

I haven't addressed the issue because one of the areas I really want to 
redo things involves the management of the buffers AM draws into. A 
display module if you will, that on the platform specific side could do 
things like 'use this window's back buffer' or 'Go full screen (and use 
the DisplaySprocket unbuffered buffers)'

In other words, I didn't want to sprinkle random OSX-only polishing 
QDFlushBuffer calls throughout the code when what I really want is to 
abstract buffer management and kill the abysmal and unreasonable 
framerates we're getting. Especially since the game really is rendering 
more frames per second than is showing up on the screen.
