remember that it's prognosticized that in about a decade the speed increase
of computer hardware will at the very least slow down due to various
physical limits of miniaturization.  So then the driver writers will be able
to catch up on streamlining all those hastily written drivers.  :-) :-) But
if you can't wait that long, there is always the possibility of developing
for the playstation (1).
