I don't really have much idea what effect HWSURFACE would have,
if any. It will certainly depend a lot on your hardware and
drivers.

My suggestion would be not to bother with it unless you're
having performance issues, and then try it to see if it
makes any difference.

Note that it's conceivable that HWSURFACE could actually
make things slower in some situations, e.g. if it results
in more movement of data between main memory and video
memory. Experimentation is the only way to be sure.
