Running 1.3 on a Windows NT machine with a Dome gray scale video card,
fillRect is much slower than in 1.2.2.

N/A

This is due to incomplete palette support in the multi-monitor work.
This work introduced a new way of determining the pixel format of the screen.
That method is based on OpenGL support calls which don't seem to be able
to handle static gray. This leads to surface type mismatch which causes
a slower loop to be used.
The need for multi-monitor support makes this bug hard to fix properly as the
fallback mechanism we can employ references the old global shared palette
from pre-multi-monitor support days.

We've decided to use Suggested fix when NOPIXID environment variable is set.
