I believe all the graphics libraries for Euphoria (SDL is one of them) were 
written in C, or C++. So, yes, if you want to do anything fast 
with Euphoria graphics, you are gonna be calling C code.
Same with every other interpreted language.

In fact, when you use the built-in graphics commands in DOS, you're calling 
C code. Rob has just built a few of the more useful C routines into Euphoria. 
What is machine_proc() except a call to pre-compiled C routines?
