It certainly will, but even now you can make it fast using the right
techniques (only draw what is necessary, for example).

That is probably true. When talking unmanaged code, however, I would
argue that if DirectDraw suits your requirements, why not just use it?
It might be a little easier to understand if you are doing 2D, and there
are lots of samples, websites, etc.
Speaking of managed DirectX, the DD docs are much worse than the managed
D3D ones, and there are a few bad bugs in managed DirectDraw, so I'd
really prefer managed Direct3D over DirectDraw.
