I am writing a graphics program that turns on many pixels one at a time
by calculating some mathematical eqns. (kind of a fractal).  It presently
is using :

moveto(x,y);
lineto(x,y);

to turn on a pixel.  Is there some quicker way to do this from pascal?
The program is horribly slow right now and it needs to be speeded up.
For instance, does someone have a quick assembly routine that will turn
on a pixel?  I'd be willing to convert to LSC so that i could use the 
inline assembly if it would really improve speed.
