I don't think this explains no frames; maybe a good bit less, but he should
see a frame now and then or this is the result of something else.

That's a thought.  Though on my system here, I also can't get max frames
per second (NTSC = 30fps) on a zoomed TV window in XImages mode, and I
don't notice any loss in X server responsiveness with fxtv trying as hard
as it can.  XFree seems to handle this load gracefully, blocking fxtv when
it's got enough images in the queue.

Of course this is just a specific instance which doesn't prove it true in
general.
