I am trying to display a large colored bitmap using BitBlt.
When the bitmap is drawn, it appears rather slowly in a series
of (about 4 or 5) horizontal swipes.  I have noticed the same
behavior when zooming out on this same image using MS-Paint;
seemingly the use of StretchBlt rather than BitBlt is causing this.
When the image is at normal size is MS-Paint, the drawing seems
pretty fast.

My question is: Is there any reason why BitBlt would redraw in
these horizontal strips?

Thanks!
