Okay, It doesn't work so well when there are layers residing above the S_R
layer to scroll.  In fact, it doesn't blank the correct spots in your S_R
layer.
I'm not sure whether there is  reliable way to determine which parts of your
layer need to be updated either.
I do a simple check to see if the layer I'm about to scroll is the foremost
layer.  If it is I use ScrollRaster, otherwise I blank the whole window and
redraw the layer.  This stinks as far as performance is concerned.
