i use this proc i wrote, never tested it's speed against other ones,
it uses vesa1, but maybe this will work for ya.


BITMAP * curpage,page1,page2;
int pagenum=0;

void flippages()
{
 if (pagenum)
   {
    scroll_screen(0,480);
    pagenum=0;
    curpage=page1;
   }
 else
   {
    scroll_screen(0,0);
    pagenum=1;
    curpage=page2;
   }
}

//the init i do in the main func is:

 if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_VESA1,640,480,640,480*2)<0)
   {
    printf("ERROR: Can't allocate enough video memory."); return 1;
   }
 page1=create_sub_bitmap(screen,0,0,640,480);
 page2=create_sub_bitmap(screen,0,480,640,480);
 curpage=page2;
