  There is a small project called "Fast Events for SDL", that merely
uses the thread to wait for events (mouse, keyboard), and pumps the SDL
event loop at a much higher rate than the default. This wouldn't effect
OpenGL< as it's purely input event oriented. I implemented this in
GameSWF, but never used it in Gnash since I mostly use the GTK frontend
because of the plugin.
