If size of client memory copy is too large, don't copy. The draw will access user-buffer directly and then block. This is faster and more efficient than queuing many large client draws.
Applications that use large draws from client arrays benefit from this. VMD is an example. The threshold for this path defaults to 32KB. This value can be overridden by setting environment variable SWR_CLIENT_COPY_LIMIT.
