[SDL] SDL vs Allegro

[J Inacio]

Hi there.

 I just have some Ideas... 
 It depends on the SO you are using (remember that in
M$-architecture SDL takes advantage of hw accel even
for 2D blitting, but not in Unix-like SOs because the
way X were built does not make it possible, so you
have to use OpenGL, wich is faster anyway).
 Sorry, I do not have any benchmark info about
SDLxAllegro, but, you can build one, like, basic
operations your game uses, you can take some of then
and make a batch test, like printing on a file the fps
for one and another and give a look, something like
"operation=blitting from offscreen : FPS="

 It is just ideas, I hope I helped.
