Well, most of the official 2D system is quite broken. I added some acceleration by using an strange pixel blitter system (it gave about a 10-30% speed increase), but it's still slow. It could be accelerated by rewriting the mess of function call that it's currently, so good luck. Just remember to profile properly whatever you rewrite, so you don't end up having a slower system :P
By the way, what did the profiler told about the 2D core CPU usage? I mean, my profiling sessions showed other parts to be hell a lot more demanding :P
By the way, if you want to test your implementation robustness,
check this. I remember I was able to pass 2/3 tests of revision 7 or 8 with my version, so I could help there. Official version passed 0/3 tests :P
