It draws to the bitmap.

Much slower. The asm code makes up the wormhole, wich is the time-critical
part of the program.

Yep.

No can do. Windows won't give you the address to a window's client area (not
that I know anyway). It'd seem a bit risky for an OS to hand out such
information..

Huh? Do you want to read the palette? Or extract the components of a single
color?
If the latter; it depends on what format your color is. There's 888, 565,
555 to name a few..
