I was looking into ways of optimizing my tile engine to get better FPS. My idea is to lock my backbuffer and my tileset and copying tiles one at the time while keeping both surfaces lock which from my understanding whould save time. If possible I could even use CopyMemory to copy the tile from my tileset to the backbuffer. Wouldn't this be MUCH faster then using a loop of .bltfast for the tiles since your not lock and unlocking the surfaces so many times and skiping all the overhead of DirectDraw's BltFast?

I don't see much of a noticeable improvement, since you still have to look up where you have the next tile coming from and where it's going... so, you'd just be doing the blting yourself. BltFast is already quite fast.
