SDL_UpdateRect is a glFinish() call when in single buffer mode. So use 
as few as possible.
That said, your performance problem is probably something else. I think 
most potential problems are described there :

Yes, I've implemented that as another backend :

Don't forget to set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=glscale ;)
and if you want to specify the size, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER_GLSCALE_X and 
SDL_VIDEODRIVER_GLSCALE_Y to the size you want. It scales by a factor of 
2 by default.
