Well, if you're not wedded to the Computer Innovations or Microsoft
compilers, check out version 1.5 of Borland's Turbo C.  They have a
very nice graphics library that supports lots of graphics modes,
including AT&T 640x400.  (But not the DEB; sorry.)  I haven't stood
around with a stopwatch, but the demo programs I've run seemed
reasonably quick.

(The graphics routines in MSC 5.0 and Quick C 1.0 support only IBM
display modes; no Hercules MGA, no AT&T 640x400.)
