Indeed, my tests show that there is a 50 second difference with GDI Get/SetPixel. If anyone wants to try my app, I'll send it to them :)
Note that GetPixel is the worst possible case under X, since it takes a full server roundtrip for each pixel. So yes, a DIB engine will definitely be faster here, the opposite would be very worrying. Testing just SetPixel would be a more meaningful test however.
