Question: What is the "2d framebuffer" and why is direct3d/draw better at accessing it than say, GDI?

I guess the lines between 2D and 3D are getting closer these days, with things like Aero in Vista/7. DirectDraw presumably provides less complexity between your bits and the screen, of course if you are windowed it needs to get clipped to screen, and if colorspaces need to be converted then that adds overhead too, so who knows how big the differences are.
