It would have to duplicate everything that is drawn to the screen on a memory 
bitmap (not all drivers preserve video memory), for the extremely rare event 
that the system wants you to redraw part of the window and you won't have 
anything ready to show for a while. I don't think the speed impact would be 
worth it.
