I think that should be an option, ideally a runtime one, but I presume we 
could live with a compile-time one, too.

In some systems the processors are quite fast, but the memory is lacking. And 
at high resolutions you don't really want to backbuffer everything... it can 
quickly add up to a gigabyte of memory. Who wants to have gigabyte worth of 
swap partition on a small system?
