	It looks like I will do something like this... my own "mipmap-pyramid"
just like in plain OpenGL-coding. The only benefit will be that it will
be generated from SVGs. That in finally really using glitz-surfaces will
hopefully yield my targetted 60 fps with little to "no" cpu-usage at
all.

	Still a pity something like has to be done, although one is using a
vector-graphics library. But maybe using glitz-surfaces turns out to be
fast enough to do SVG-painting on the fly... this is what I still hope
for.

Best regards...
