60fps display updates possible without GPU?

I finally got the touch screen working! still some spurious events I need to track down still, including an interrupt flood. But the first thing I added was finger paint mode, to check touch locations, and a button to clear the screen 
All good fun, but my 'clear screen' functionality is super slow. I'm guessing at .25s, slow enough to see the progress. This is using a framebuffer approach i.e. no GPU, and a memset to do the clear. But I also tried a direct arm assembly loop, and looks the same.
I dont have enough experience with the PinePhone to know if this is to be expected? or an anomaly in my approach. I was expecting to be able to easily do 60fps with plenty of spare cycles to run my apps.
