In #24, you quoted my "It would be very beneficial if the controller supported arbitrary sub-area refreshes, and a few of those areas in parallel perhaps.

We both know how a technical document can get mangled by marketing people before it's released. Do you remember those Intel ads where HyperThreading CPUs made it possible to read email and check for viruses "at the same time"? They're technically right, but no user would every notice the difference.
