how to increase speed showing my recorded GPS-locations?

I made a blackbox for my car that records lots of GPS strings in a flashmemory . I can download this memory to my computer and then I want to show the route I made on the map.
I tried many things but cannot show more then 2 points per second. If I try, it seems that mappoint is not fast enough to show them on the screen.
My computer is rather old (P2 , 266 Mhz ) , but before I used a VB program that used a normal (scanned) map and I had great speeds while drawing the route.
Until now I placed 1 pushpin (car symbol) on the map and changed it's location.Unfortunaly I can not reach high speeds to check the route that my car made .
Does anyone have idea's to increase speed?

Second question...

Importing some datasets take's also a lot of time.(+/- 1 minute)
Can I import a dataset from an existing array in my program that contains GPS-data?
now I have to write this array to my hardisk as a text file and after use the dataset import possibilities.

Thanks a lot for all help!!!
