This is a repost, since nobody wanted to answer my question.

I am trying to do horizontal smooth scrolling.  I have tried two methods,
one using SCROLLRASTPORT and one using SCROLLVPORT.

Problems I want to solve:

1)  I can't GET SCROLLVPORT to work at all!!! I gave it the VPORT record    
    of my screen, but it did nothing.  I've tried this in several
vport environments. 

2) It's TOO SLOW!  A SCROLLRASTPORT takes far too much time to scroll
anything of any substance. (like a 400 x 200 5-plane bitmap) I know
it's possible to move bitmaps much faster (for example, Screen sizing)
How would one go about making a FAST scroll?

Thanks in advance.
