[SDL] Problem moving a blitted image,

[Lamonte(Scheols/Demonic)]

meh If you looked at my code it already does everything your talking
about(bet you aint even look at the source..)

Problem:  The Blitted image is moving slow and won't keep moving when
i hold the DOWN arrow....... How can I fix my code to do that?

[SOURCE]
//The headers  #include "SDL.h"
#include "SDL/SDL.h"
#include <string>

const int WINDOW_WIDTH = 640;
const int WINDOW_HEIGHT = 420;
const char* WINDOW_TITLE = "Manage Image Movement Inside a window!";
int n;

  bool left = false;
  bool right = false;
  bool up = false;
  bool down = false;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO );

   SDL_Surface* screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, 0,
      SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF );
   SDL_WM_SetCaption( WINDOW_TITLE, 0 );


   SDL_Surface* bgMAP = SDL_LoadBMP("6-5.bmp");
   SDL_Surface* bitmap = SDL_LoadBMP("image1.bmp");

   // Part of the bitmap that we want to draw
   SDL_Rect source;
   source.x = 0;

   // Part of the screen we want to draw the sprite to
  SDL_Rect destination;
  destination.x = 0;
  destination.y = 0;
  destination.w = 41;
  destination.h = 41;


   SDL_Event event;
   bool gameRunning = true;

   while (gameRunning)
   {
      if (SDL_PollEvent(&event))

         }

	if(event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN){

		switch(event.key.keysym.sym){

                                destination.x--;
                          else
