With AGG? I'm using nearest neighbor scaling, which should be the
fastest method that can do scaling. Of course just copying the data to
the offscreen buffer when the video is scaled 1:1 would be faster, but
I'm a bit scared of implementing that.

375 times? More interesting would be the real time which is spend in
that routine.

Are you sure it really won't update in that case? This requires
correct usage of invalidated bounds (set_invalidated()) and as far as
I remember only minimal functionality for invalidated bounds were
implemented in the video class. This could have changed in the
meantime..
