Sorry but which part of "from the user's point of view doing complicated 
calculations that result in a slower display is useless" is not clear?
I don't care E optimizations and beautiful algorithms if I simply CANNOT 
USE THEM or use them at the price of speediness and smoothness, they're 
simply useless! You can't tell me you've written the best software in 
the world if I can't use it or I have to limit it to the worst software, 
it's a loosing approach, you dropped your energy in something useless.
This is what I claim Raster is wrong, nothing more (maybe using rude 
words ok, but this is the point). He says "if you run on a limited 
hardware my software, to obtain the SAME results of Qt you cannot use my 
calculations and optimizations" so what? This is equals to say "you 
cannot use my software" not "my software is well written", do you agree 
with this?
Bye.
