Frame rate and various game loop/graphics timing measurements and graphs. Accessible via the Help menu, and can print some stats in the console via the fps command.
Uniscribe is sometimes producing different results compared to ICU, especially
when RTL and LTR content is mixed. Comparing the results to other programs
(like editors or web browsers) leads me to believe that the result are at least
not worse than ICU and possibly better.
Create a new blitter mode: 32bpp-sse2-anim, which is 32bpp-anim + this.
32bpp-sse2-anim is now used by default where 32bpp-anim would have been.
Also use this with the 32bpp-sse4-anim blitter.

MCI MIDI is poorly supported on newer versions of Windows and can cause large
delays at the beginning of tracks.
The new driver is based on a from-scratch reader for Standard MIDI Files. This
should be re-usable in other music drivers too, and can allow for finer control
of playback in general.
It also provides a better framework for reading MIDI data from other formats
than just SMF.
