Make sure you make the surfaces HWSURFACE, and fullscreen video.
Windowed mode you never know what you get, as windows still controlls it.
And SDL will emulate the color depth and hw acceleration (there is no hw accel)
So, 32bit on a 16bit desktop will be way slower than 32bit in fullscreen. Or 16bit on a 32bit desktop.
Also, some gfx cards support HW blitting, which speeds blitting up a lot.
