I think it should help Bart in that it gives a cleaner, but doesn't this still 
mean that you need to create a temporary target paint device? That's the big 
problem. Of course, if we could invent something like a 'lazy' paint device 
that only allocates tiles if and when and where pixels ares changed, that 
should help enormously. That's more or less what Casper was doing with the 
autoextending layers, isn't it?
