- Yes, this is what I'd expect to happen. In "normal" screen update
- mode, Executor doesn't transfer pixels from the internal screen to the
- SVGA board until the program checks for events (keypresses, mouse
- presses, etc.) This is a performance heuristic.
-
- "refresh" mode will force the real screen to get updated periodically
- regardless, at a certain performance penalty.
-
- "animation" mode will cause all drawing to appear on the SVGA board
- ASAP, at a performance penalty (not nearly as bad as refresh, but not
- as good as normal).
-
- I'll change Executor so that the entire screen you are seeing is
- always properly updated when the cursor is redrawn.
