Just bear in mind, iirc you can't get hardware 2d rendering any more.

I seem to remember, from quite a while back too, that all modern video
cards render 3d by default, and 2d is now a software layer on top.

So basically, what I'm saying is don't choose 2d over 3d because you
think it will be faster/more efficient. Because actually, it's the other
way round.
