Yet another relatively useless option that tries to make OpenGL's sync
behavior somewhat sane. The results are not too encouraging. With a
value of 1, vsync jitter is gone on nVidia, but there are frame drops
(less than with glfinish). With 2, I get the usual vsync jitter _and_
frame drops.
There's still some hope that it might prevent too deep queuing with some
GPUs, I guess.
The timeout for the wait call is 1 second. The value is pretty
arbitrary; it should just not be too high to freeze the process (if
the GPU is un-nice), and not too low to trigger the timeout in normal
cases, even if the GPU load is very high. So I guess 1 second is ok
as a timeout.
The idea to use fences this way to control the queue depth was stolen
from RetroArch:
