THIS is true.  Idioms are very important in the computer world.  From
desktops to overall system architecture, the use of idioms is quite
prevalent.

If you really want to stick out, change the idiom.  I'd have to agree here
-- if sync mode is responsible for the sluggishness of GGI (not that I've
noticed in the past! :) ), take it out.  I, even as a novice programmer,
am more than willing to set up my own SIGALRM handler to manually
ggiFlush(...) every so often.  I work better with low-level stuff anyway.
