Putting this together with your other questions - it seems like you want 
to push out video via serial?  You'll want to compress it pretty hard 
and get it back into a blittable form very quickly.  640 is probably not 
a realistic target, but with adequate tricks (minimal updating, smaller 
window, etc.) it is workable.

Long ago Joshua Bell made a project to stream a Windows desktop over to 
a IIc via serial:
