operations will be directed to the new backbuffer. Note that,
if the buffer switching is exceedingly slow, or the frequency
of switchBuffer() is exceedingly high, the buffer scheduled
for display here might become the current render target
<em>before</em> it is fully displayed on screen. In this case,
any rendering operation to this buffer will block, until it is
safe to perform the operation without visible cluttering.<p>
Use this method if you favor maximal render speed, but don't
necessarily require your screen display to be in sync with
other things, e.g. sound playback.<p>
