I think I'm seeing what you're seeing, or maybe not. What happens if
you just put a rest(20) after your blit() call? Basically, I think it's
just that the background thread is not getting enough CPU time. This is
quite problematic with the X port (e.g. see how long it takes after a
key press for expal to stop).
Vincent will probably say it all works fine with SIGALRM.
