If I understand correct (I've never used triple buffering) the program do
have to wait for the vbl before switching buffer the difference is that
with triple buffering the program doesn't have to wait for the switch to
start rendering the next frame since it has an extra buffer to render to.
This way the program only have to wait when both the buffers are full and
the third is being displayed and waiting for the vbl.
I could be totally wrong here, please correct me if I am :)
