Summary: In-game text slows down SimCopter

When playing SimCopter, the game slows down every time you get mission-related
updates in the top left corner of the screen. The more lines of text on the
screen at a time, the more the game lags. After doing a trace, it seems that
SimCopter calls DrawTextA for those messages, and the calls are constantly
repeated while the message is on the screen. I'm thinking this is because
DirectDraw might render over the text and the text gets redrawn every time the
DirectDraw window does, but that's just a wild guess, and doesn't really
explain the slowdown.

This bug is in both the demo and retail version of the game.
