Quite the contrary, for hardware rendering of images you also need to load them into video memory, which will only slow down the loading. So loading speed is not equal to rendering speed. These are different things.
SDL was chosen a long time ago and because of its simplicity and convenience. Yes, I would like the rendering to be faster in some places, but this only appears when scrolling the list of files and the console text, nothing more. Otherwise it works quite well. For special cases such as video frames display, there is a mechanism for hardware rendering on top of a software screen. This one is used for camera previews.
Thus, the DS has a hybrid rendering mechanism.

I see, do you think it's possible to upgrade SDL to a newer version? Or is it too difficult?
