Yup. Like I said, I still have to inspect those patches to make sure
I agree with them completely. As long as they are 'ok' to me, they'll
be in there.

I was hoping that you might start to slow down a bit. :)

Ok.

I believe that it draws the string onto an image and then rotates that
image. Don't know how fast it is though, as I never played with it.
I think that XFig uses that code, and it's pretty snappy w/ the
rotation, so I imagine it's pretty quick.
