Any chance to make SOM friendlier to DirectX9 and beyond?

I'm better off learning OpenGL for the sake of my own then.

I wasn't worried about improving the graphics per-se, rather that using OpenGL would make SOM friendlier to modern hardware, though that's really pushing it. ‎ 

Hmm... ‎  It would be pointless to change the API (more unnecessary work.)
