that's already 25 times faster than the original code. I guess this
means my theory was right.

Okay, can you do that somehow? I mean, can you somehow use GL to draw
things? From my limited understanding that should avoid a round-trip to
the GPU.

I don't know. Accessing GPU memory from the CPU is always slow, I heard.
