only for simple things to draw.

What about the drawing itself?

exactly -- It will help for drawing lots of points, and might for large

We'd have to write some code and profile -- or maybe profile at the C++ 
level, but I don't know how to do that.

Exactly. In any case, it would help for loading Images and Bitmaps.
