1. A graphics system, including: a graphics application communicating with graphics hardware through a first driver sharing an interface with the graphics application, and a second driver sharing another interface with the graphics hardware, a graphics interface through which the first driver transmits original graphics call sequences to the second driver, and a performance optimization apparatus; wherein the performance optimization apparatus comprises at least one graphics call sequence optimizer, operationally interposed between the first and second driver, configured to process one of the original graphics call sequence to produce an optimized graphics call sequence; wherein the performance optimization apparatus comprises measuring means for measuring performance of the graphics system when processing the optimized graphics call sequence; and wherein the graphics application is modified based upon performance improvements achieved in the graphics hardware when provided the optimized graphics call sequence, the modified graphics application producing the optimized graphics call sequence rather than the original graphics call sequence.
