The original poster had a performance problem. He was blitting from a
software surface to a hardware surface. Someone suggested moving his
software surface to the hardware surface. This yielded a 10% performance
drop.

So how exactly is it that hardware surfaces are faster than software
surfaces in this case? This just looks like you're trying to find a way to
make me look bad/wrong to make yourself look better.
