Don't be sorry! I'm never disappointed to learn something especially if that means I was wrong.
Now don't tell me they were using the blitter, because even busy wait bliting (does this take two ts?) the drivers and roadside objects can't possibly take that long. I assume they must redraw the whole road and two parallax layers entirely every frame with the CPU.
I'm fairly sure I could do at least as well in pure C. 
Edit: forget that, it's silly.
Let's make it "I wonder if one could approach this in pure C with some inline assembly for copies/clears". More reasonable.
