    Second question first: DrawText calls TextOut, so if you don’t need the formatting capabilities of DrawText, you can go straight to TextOut.

    If raw performance is all you care about, then drawing directly will be faster. However, raw performance should not be your sole concern. It is also more work and does not support accessibility (which means you have to write additional code to support IAccessible).
