It only matters for suspend/resume on a laptop.

No. It's mostly FYI, so why do you want to 'short circuit' it?

Set the correct DisplaySize in the Monitor section or start the server
with -dpi 150.

Because Fast Writes cause lockups on some machines. This is very

No caveat is good... The driver doesn't accelerate accumulation buffers
so it marks those visuals as being slow.
