Yeah, you can't get away without doing optimizations, even in C. I know,
I wrote a C engine before I switched to Python!
I'm doing full screen, 32-bit color in a 1024x768 window with an alpha
channel on every graphic... and I'm sitting at about 14,000 fps. That
number is misleading because if the screen were fully loaded with
something moving every frame, it would drop to 400 fps or so... but the
trick is to not fully load it. You HAVE to put a throttle on your
graphics, to get any kind of speed out of it.
