• I tested with latest direct_io branch, see my code
    First checked speed, which is really fast, came down to 18msec/scan :-)
    Up to this everything was fine

    var led;
    connect2 = function(R1,R2,B1,B2,G1,G2,A,B,C,D,Latch­,Clock,Enable) {
      var sfnc = shiftOut.bind(null,[R1,G1,B1,R2,G2,B2],{­clk:Clock});
      var dfnc = digitalWrite.bind(null,[Enable,Latch,Lat­ch,D,C,B,A,Enable]);
    
      var en = Enable;
      var g = Graphics.createArrayBuffer(64,32,4);
      var buf = g.buffer;
      var ledBuf = new Uint8Array(64 * 32 / 2);//converted graphics.buffer to data for LED
      var arr = [];
      g.prep = function() {
        var bufpnt1,bufpnt2,ledpnt;
        bufpnt1 = 0; bufpnt2 = 512; ledpnt = 0;
        var pane = false,i,j;
        for(i = 0; i < 16; i++){
          for(j = 0; j < 64;j +=2){
            ledBuf[ledpnt] = (buf[bufpnt2] & 7) + ((buf[bufpnt1] & 7)<<3);
            ledpnt++;
            ledBuf[ledpnt] = ((buf[bufpnt2] & 0xf0) >>4) + ((buf[bufpnt1] & 0xf0)>>1);
            ledpnt++;
            bufpnt1++;
            bufpnt2++;
          }
        }
        arr = [];
        for(var y=0; y < 16;y++){
          arr.push(new Uint8Array(ledBuf.buffer,y*64,64));
          arr.push({callback:dfnc.bind(null,33|y<<­1)});
        }
      };
      g.scan = function() {
        en.reset();
        sfnc(arr);
        en.set();
      };
      g.setBgColor(1);
      g.clear();
      g.setColor(2);
      g.fillRect(5,12,50,25);
      g.setColor(4);
      g.fillRect(10,14,40,20);
      g.fillRect(10,0,40,0);
      return g;
    };
    function tst(){
      led = connect2(D2,D16,D4,D17,D15,D27, D5,D18,D19,D21, D26,D22,D25);
      if(led.prep) led.prep();
      var t=getTime();
      led.scan();
      print((getTime()-t) * 1000);
    }
    

    Next tried to work with graphics and whatever I did, panel displays something different. :-(
    During testing I added some printf's here and there
    First confusing was how often jswrap_io_shiftOutCallbackFast was called. My expectation was 1024, but the counter I added returns 8704
    Counter was added like this

    int xx = 0;
    void jswrap_io_shiftOutCallbackFast(int val, void *data) {
    xx++;
      jswrap_io_shiftOutData *d = (jswrap_io_shiftOutData*)data;
      int n, i;
      for (i=0;i<d->repeat;i++) {
    .....
    void jswrap_io_shiftOut(JsVar *pins, JsVar *options, JsVar *data) {
    xx = 0;
      jswrap_io_shiftOutData d;
      d.cnt = 0;
      d.clk = PIN_UNDEFINED;
    .......
      // Now run through the data, pushing it out
      jsvIterateCallback(data, allFast ? jswrap_io_shiftOutCallbackFast : jswrap_io_shiftOutCallback, &d);
    printf("xx:%d\n",xx);
    }
    

    Checking jsvIterateCallback was next step, some more printf like this in
    BTW, this is the short version of a long story, ....

      // Handle the data being an array buffer
      else if (jsvIsArrayBuffer(data)) {
    jsWarn("ArrayBuffer:%j\n",data);
        JsvArrayBufferIterator it;
        jsvArrayBufferIteratorNew(&it, data, 0);
    jsWarn("byteLength:%d\n",it.byteLength);­
        if (JSV_ARRAYBUFFER_GET_SIZE(it.type) == 1 && !JSV_ARRAYBUFFER_IS_SIGNED(it.type)) {
          JsvStringIterator *sit = &it.it;
    
    

    See log, Sum of all byteLength gives exactly 8704, which is the number how often callbackFast is called.
    Here we reach the point where the story is beyond my knowledge. Hope you can help.
