VESA is suprisingly good with Haiku. Since most GPU manufacturers have ignored Haiku, the community has spent some time getting the VESA driver as good as it can get, and it is very respectable. Most users will not be aware that they are running VESA, since Haiku still less laggy than it's contemporaries.

Haiku is also one of the best performers in a virtual Spice display. It feels faster and more responsive than a virtualized Fedora or Ubuntu.

Honestly we haven't spent a massive amount of time on VESA, or really much optimization in general. It's not like there are a ton of magic tricks in there to make it fast or something. Somehow everyone else still manages to be slower than we are, though...
