Would that re-writing graphics single-threaded were in my life.
I'm doing the exact opposite right now - taking a single-threaded  
(3D) graphics engine and multi-threading it properly (I hope...) to  
run on multi-core architectures.  If you want weird races...  We have  
a little technology around not putting races in in the first place,  
but I find it difficult to trust that technology not to be buggy.
