[GEM-dev] Ressources when alpha canal of [colorRGB] is 0

[chris clepper]

No.  In the alpha chain the geometry is still computed only the pixels are
not drawn in the back buffer.  Also, the gemhead has some overhead for
setting up the various states and matrices.  Turning off the gemhead
bypasses everything in the chain.
