This brings back memories of reading through Norton's programmer's guide to the PC, figuring out how all the various interrupts worked. It was always faster to write to b800:0000 than use int 10h (assuming a color display of course!).

Yep, instead of looping over an interrupt just use "rep movsb" between the data segment and display memory.
