If by "built in routines" you are referring to something other that
WinG, it shows how uneducated and stupid you are.  If you are referring
to something that uses WinG, then either the game was programmed by an
idiot, or..?  My friend is writing a game using WinG, and on his DX2-66
it clears and redraws part of a 320X240 window at 50fps.
