Try something like that:

' 1) Create a cached DrawingArea named "MyDrawingArea"
' 2) Create a Timer that regularly calls the following code
' 3) Put all your tiles in one bitmap file (don't use bmp, use png)

Draw.Begin(MyDrawingArea)
' Draw one tile
X = CalcXFromTileIndex(TileIndex)
Y = CalcYFromTileIndex(TileIndex)
Draw.Picture(TilePicture, X, Y, SrcX, SrcY, TileWidth, TileHeight)
' Repeat the previous for each board
...
Draw.End

Of course, if you want speed, you must use C ! :-)
