I have run “tearing” test with  
glfwSwapInterval(0); // vsync off  
glfwSwapInterval(1); // vsync on  
and didn’t see much difference. On Windows in NVidia Control Panel vsync is  
set to application controlable. Maybe its possible to make new test called  
"triple buffering"?

What would this test do?
