This is not a performance problem! Vertical retrace syncing (aka.
vsync) prevents your program from updating the screen more often than
it is refreshed on your display. This is a *good* thing. If your
display runs at a refresh rate of 80Hz, it is pointless to produce
more than 80 frames per second, as it only wastes computing resources.
