Also, pythonw appears to totally crush the hard drive on each launch
(according to sysinterals filemon), naively hunting all around the
path for a bunch of nonexistent files, then recursively enumerating
every folder in the \python24 tree, for some reason, which causes a
lot of slowdowns until it's done reading.

Switching the program to FULLSCREEN|DOUBLEBUFF and using flip() rather
than update() did make it quite a bit smoother.
