Well, if you need help, I can add my efforts to yours, because it`s a
big bottle neck in my project too. But I dont use OpenGL :)

Maybe if the text will be rendered on a surface before blit it will speed up the
thing? ...And if it will "re-render" the surface only if text was
added or changed - it will speed up the scrolling?


Kind regards,
