    Well, if you have enough ram, you can do hardware scrolling in SVGA.
Also, something I've observed, in SVGA modes, it is usually MUCH faster to
redraw the entire screen from a memory buffer than to do real scrolling
because reading from video ram is sometimes up to 10 times slower than
writing.
