Tengo este codigo

copie / pegue en una nueva aplicación winform y esto escribirá un archivo en su escritorio si lo ejecuta:test123abcd.png

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim SquareSize = 5
    Dim GridX = 2500
    Dim GridY = 2500
    Dim SquareCount = GridX * GridY - 1
    Dim sw As New Stopwatch

    Dim Rect(4) As Rectangle
    Rect(0) = New Rectangle(0, 3, 3, 1)
    Rect(1) = New Rectangle(3, 0, 1, 3)
    Rect(2) = New Rectangle(3, 3, 3, 1)
    Rect(3) = New Rectangle(0, 0, 1, 3)

    Dim fullsw = Stopwatch.StartNew
    Using board = New Bitmap(SquareSize * (GridX + 1), SquareSize * (GridY + 1), Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb)
        Using graph = Graphics.FromImage(board)
            Using _board = New Bitmap(SquareSize, SquareSize, Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb)
                Using g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(_board)
                    For i = 0 To SquareCount
                        g.Clear(If((i And 1) = 1, Color.Red, Color.Blue))
                        g.FillRectangles(Brushes.White, Rect)
                        sw.Start()
                        graph.DrawImageUnscaled(_board, ((i Mod GridX) * SquareSize), ((i \ GridY) * SquareSize))
                        sw.Stop()
                    Next
                End Using
            End Using
        End Using
        fullsw.Stop()
        board.Save(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory) & "\test123abcd.png", Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
    End Using

    MessageBox.Show("Full SW: " & fullsw.ElapsedMilliseconds & Environment.NewLine &
                    "DrawImageUnscaled SW: " & sw.ElapsedMilliseconds)
End Sub

entre el 40% y el 45% del tiempo invertido esDrawImageUnscaled, aproximadamente 23 segundos en mi computadora actual, mientras que todo toma aproximadamente 50 segundos

¿hay una manera de acelerarDrawImageUnscaled? (y tal vez todo?)
