This is about *one* specific issue: responsiveness. There's nothing in there for a claim of "better."
However, a year or so ago the difference was still noticeable to the user; I really couldn't tell you if it is now (and I've heard that tuning the linux kernel can alleviate the problem, too).
Writing for the Majority, Justices McLachlin and Fish state:
"Mr. Schmeiser complained that the original plants came onto his land without his intervention. However, he did not at all explain why he sprayed Roundup to isolate the Roundup Ready plants he found on his land; why he then harvested the plants and segregated the seeds, saved them, and kept them for seed; why he next planted them; and why, through this husbandry, he ended up with 1030 acres of Roundup Ready Canola which would otherwise have cost him $15,000. In these circumstances, the presumption of use flowing from possession stands unrebutted."
In short, the court believed that he sprayed the "infected" area to kill the canola *he* planted, then harvested and segregated the roundup resistant seed for future planting. It seems that for the crops at issue in the litigation, "95-98% of his 1,030 acre crop was pure Roundup Ready canola."
>SD is roughly 480i. That's 640x480, 60 interlaced frames per second.
>640 * 480 * 60 * 0.5 = 9,216,000 pixels/second
Are you using SD for Svideo or "standard" definition. If standard definition, you're *way* off.
NTSC has 525 lines 30 times a second, interlaced for 60 half frames. That creates about 400-450 usable lines--this doesn't create a big error.
However, the pixel limit is limited by the color subcarrier at 3.58 MHz. Color is handled by phase shifts in that signal, so the limit is around 7.16 pixels/second--from which you have to pay for horizontal and vertical retrace.
Remember the purplish tint to Apple ][ and ][+? That's because they were pushing against the color subcarrier. (The rev 8 [?] and later motherboards, including the//e, shut off the subcarrier during text). They managed extra colors (8 bits produced six pixels in six colors) by slightly shifting the pixels in time. Anyway, given the amount of overscan on color televisions at the time, this gave a 280 pixel/line limit--but this did leave space to the left & right (though not much on most televisions of the time). Today, you could fit somewhat more.
PAL and SECAM give similar results.

Also, at the rate you quote, there would be problme
To deliberately disrupt a contract of which you know can be the tort of "interference with contract". It's civil, not criminal, and is state common law, rather than federal law. (although some states may have codified it).
Suppose you have a great bakery going, and I want to open one. Getting your flour supplier to stop selling to you would be an example of this tort. ("without justification" is one of the elements of the tort)
I believe that most (all?) Common Law (English speaking) countries recognized the interference with contract. I think the "prospective advantage" is intermittently recognized even within the US, and is *very* rarely a winner.
In the Common Law countries, caselaw *is* the primary source of law. If the legislature or Congress disagrees, they can pass legislation to change it. The caselaw developed over the century as actual cases were interpreted, and IM!HO, generally works out better than the statutory schemes. The courts then determine what the legislation means.
The Sherman Act, which governs this area, in unusual in that it is legislation with very little actual direction or definition for the courts. It deliberately left determining what "restraint of trade" and so forth to the courts, and for that reason it is sometimes referred to as "the constitutional Sherman Act." This does indeed mean that interpretation changes over time--which is fortunate, because much of the caselaw before the 1980s was based on very poor economics, which often achieved the opposite of what was intended. The courts used to protect competitors, now they protect the competition itself.
The article doesn't indicate knowledge of the contract, but it strikes me as highly improbable that she didn't know. The only way her "flea market" tale works for more than a one time purchase is if the flea market seller is illegally buying from a retailer (or wholesaler). Even then, the reason for the demand for this cosmetic is apparently its priceyness & exclusiveness. Certainly, she knew that this makeup was only sold through beauty shops . . .
In general, without knowing more, I'd handle this type of thing by taking her deposition to find out the seller, and then choosing against whom to proceed (most likely, both her and her source).
When I was in general practice, I got pitched by these things all the time, and never found one that was worth *my* end of things. I'm not denying that one could be made, but every one I saw had unbelievably low rates for what I would be paid--to the point that it didn't cover my overhead costs!
OTOH, the $45/month is higher than the premiums I used to see, so maybe it can cover a bit more.
No, I got that straight. The 3d party was aware of the contract, and the law has long recognized a tort for interference with contract (and its kissing cousin, interference with prospective advantage).
Given the complicity of the 3d party, there may not even be a valid sale to it. The *best* case for the third party is having its deposition taken to reveal the source, and its supply shut off in that manner.
After I submitted that, it also occurred to me that you can find my dissertation in downloadable form (I forget where I found that), various versions of my paper on the economics of open source (which was ultimately published in netnomics), and listings of my presentations at past international society for computational economics (or whatever it's calling itself this year; it seems to change almost every year, sometimes including "finance").
I'd show you the little plastic card in my wallet identifying me as a member of the NV bar, but . . .

I would blame linux, not X :)
While the difference isn't nearly what it used to be, FreeBSD has always had far less of that on the same hardware and the same version of X.
Back on a 486 (and even my K6, iirc) linux could freeze for seconds under loads under 4, while at least the mouse kept working at 20 and up.
The last time I compared on the same hardware (a couple of years ago), Linux was merely "annoying" under load, rather than the older "unusable"
