GetDC() is really slow.

As I mentioned in an earlier thread I've been working on rendering text with a Device Context. Everything is working fine now, but it would seem that the GetDC() function is really slow. This wouldn't be a problem if I only had to call it once per frame, but apparently I'm not allowed to blit from the surface before I have released the Device Context. If I try I get an exception with the content "One or more surfaces are locked, preventing operation". This means that I will have to get and release the Device Context each time I need to draw some text, and seeing that this process easily takes about 25 ms this quickly becomes a major problem. Is there any way to blit from a surface without releasing the Device Context? If not, can you think of any other way to make this run faster?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Johan,

Thank you for your reply. Honestly, I'm afraid the source code license is a bit outside of my budget. Is there no way to do this with the binary license?
