The only other way to draw multiple pixels at a time is by passing a complex matrix to PIXEL, but it is not obvious how to populate that matrix efficiently.

Of course this should be addressed by SwissMicros. With that 400x240 pixel screen just screaming for graphics, the DM42 needs some decent drawing primitives. LINE would be a good start.
