month I've gleaned the following information on the
state of things SDL that are relevant:

1) On all platforms except Amiga, hardware surfaces
are only availible in fullscreen mode.

2) I think SDL only supports hardware accelerated
blits between hardware surfaces, and (possibly) from
software to hardware surfaces.  You would be doing a
blit between software surfaces it sounds like.

3) SDL software blits are sufficiently fast, so I
wouldn't worry about it....

Best reguards,

-Loren

P.S. Please be aware that not all 3D accelerator cards
(such as Voodoo 1&2) are capible of 3D acceleration in
a window... This isn't a SDL thing it's a hardware
thing, so you may need to impose a minimum system
requirement for your deployed systems.
