what kinda crack are you smoking? direct rendering will be more of a
performance boost than buffering frames ahead could hope to be, once
its done. the only way i can see your idea being any good for
performance is if there's enough video memory to place all the frames
into video memory directly as they're buffered, but that would require
even more insane amounts of video memory than modern cards have.
