 ## Added
 - Added config.scroll_past_end that when its true lets the user scroll
   further than the end of the file. By default is set to false.
+- Added "SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED" and "SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC" on 
+  SDL_CreateRenderer() since this reduces the CPU usage when the user
+  scrolls and seems to work pretty good on my systems (X5000, A1222 and 
+  microAmigaOne). This is exeprimental. If this brings problems on your
+  system, you can disable them using SDL ENV variable, like below:
+  setenv SDL_RENDER_VSYNC 0
+  setenv SDL_RENDER_DRIVER "software"
 
 ## [1.16.12.6] - 2022-01-04
