No matter what you do, don't do a large number of point/draw operatrions
onto a visible canvas. Do rather create an invisible ("off-screen") bitmap,
do all painting on this one, and copy the entire image onto the visibla
canvas by BitBlt() WinAPI. This is\t as magic as e.g. DirectX, but it speeds
up painting substantially.
