Want to know how it would feel?
Just use VESA mode in the closest resolution to that you can get: 
select 32bit (or 16 if you can't select 32 ;-)
Now open up BeIDE, resize text to screen: and start scrolling. I mean: 
crawling. (in the meantime: anyone up for coffee? :-)

The only (and only) speedup you will have compared to VESA is the use 
of MTRR-WC. And believe me: you will keep on crying!
