Hi Folks

Regarding the overhead involved in rendering multiple windows from one
graphics pipe, the Performer Progammers' Guide states:

> The use of multiple windows on a single graphics pipe can add
> overhead. The sharing of the graphics context between windows
> consumes almost all of this overhead.

Would anyone care to be more specific as to what "almost" means ?

Best wishes

Colin
