2D graphics & speed quest

Hello group,

I wrote a marine software with vector charts. The charts are made of
polygons, lines and points. Polygons and lines each have a bounding box to
determine if they are in the viewing screen or not.

My question is: would I gain in speed display by using DirectX or OpenGL
rather than VB6 alone and some APIs like Polypolygon ?

Thank you
