Oh, yes
Still can't get used to Palm philosophy.
For a PC you prefer line-to-line copy to pixel-by-pixel processing, because
many graphic cards provide hardware acceleration for blits (including
off-screen ones), and even without hardware accel you have an advantage for
having less calls to the kernel (sorry Joe, but for Windows this is really
crucial).
For Palm, line copy will probably be not much more efficient than
pixel-by-pixel, though you still have less system calls...
