Re: GDI+ clock, GDI+ layered windows, text rendering, etc.

The time intervals of new version of Clock can be measured by the 
following func Draw:

Func Draw()
local $msg = '', $Start, $Time
  ; Calculate current time element position
  $aLast = $aCurr
  $aCurr[0][0] = $iCenter + Cos(TimeToRadians("sec" )) * $iSecRad
  $aCurr[0][1] = $iCenter - Sin(TimeToRadians("sec" )) * $iSecRad
  $aCurr[1][0] = $iCenter + Cos(TimeToRadians("min" )) * $iMinRad
  $aCurr[1][1] = $iCenter - Sin(TimeToRadians("min" )) * $iMinRad
  $aCurr[2][0] = $iCenter + Cos(TimeToRadians("hour")) * $iHourRad
  $aCurr[2][1] = $iCenter - Sin(TimeToRadians("hour")) * $iHourRad

  ; Draw time elements
  $Start = TimerInit()
  TimeDraw()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'TimeDraw = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  $Start = TimerInit()
  HourDraw()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'HourDraw = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  $Start = TimerInit()
  MinDraw ()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'MinDraw = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  $Start = TimerInit()
  SecDraw ()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'SecDraw = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  msgbox(0,'', $msg)
EndFunc

My result:
 
TimeDraw = 43.12
HourDraw = 61.84
MinDraw = 84.48
SecDraw = 105.91

CPU usage = 25% (average), but 1 time in 10 sec = 38%

As you can see Clock is making the same heavy work - it is spoiling 
CPU.
