POE is a great suggestion and I have played with it a little already. =20
Actually my first instinct was NOT to use POE on the client end of this=20
system (mainly win32) because on the surface it looked as though POE=20
might be quite slow?

The application also acts as a network proxy for some other network=20
stuff and it would be useful to have it all in one exe process.  Anyone=20
got any real world statistics on whether POE is slow and heavy, or=20
decently speedy in the real world?

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.  For sure the double viewport=20
suggestion is what I was heading towards, but the implementation wasn't=20
so clear in my mind until you paraphrased the algorithm so neatly.  Thank=
