Good speed there. Another problem I just realized though: on 
Windows, bitmaps are stored upside down so you'd have to draw 
y-inverted too. Didn't make a difference here because the image 
doesn't care about orientation but it would be visible with a lot 
of other programs.

Maybe simple functions or mixins (if inlining isn't reliable) 
could be used to hide this detail. Though for max performance you 
might have to know some platform specific details anyway. (and 
this library isn't really made for max performance, instead 
preferring simplicity of use and implementation. but still no 
need to be pointlessly slow)

OK I'll check that from my laptop tomorrow.
