What are the specs on your computer? It runs smoothly on my laptop, even a bit too fast I'd say. (especially when switching terrain tiles).

Hey, I havent done tiles in quite some time, but some of the suggestions I can give you, assuming youre making a game out of this, you should have you map made of zeroes, ones,two etc.. in a text document and then you should read from it and for each number you should make your program draw a certain tile. For the map editor, you just do the reverse and for every pic you draw change the number in the text document. I think CoderMonkey2000 has posted a tutorial on that, you chould check it out.
Uaisn a text document will make your collisison detection easier to code too.
