Do you mean that windows are aligned on 4 pixels boundaries, or is it just 
the width that is a multiple of 4 pixels?
The former will in fact speed things up (even more so on 8 byte boundaries), 
whereas for the latter, the MMX code is already ~5% faster :)
The non-MMX code will sufer a slight penalty since I'll be needing an extra 
register.

Is the overlay used by default? If not, we can put a note in the docs. If it 
is, then I guess we'll have to go the way of other DirectX program...

Oh, and Allegro doesn't crash on Win2k when switching resolutions, it just 
displays a black screen and accepts no input. You can still click on the [x] 
to shut it down.
