Sure, something simple would be like,

type img
     field pix,w,h
end type

function createFast(x,y,w,h)
   o.img=new img
   bank=createBank( w*h*3)
lockbuffer
   for gy=x to y+h
   for gx=x to x+w
        pokeint bank,bo,readpixelfast(gx,gy)
        bo=bo+4
   next
   next
unlockbuffer
o\pix=bank
return handle(o)
end function

and then pass the returned handle to this func to retrieve pixel color very fastly.

function readPixelFastest( img,x,y)
     in.img=object.img(img)
     return peekint(in\pix,(y*in\w+x)*4)
end function

Although I strongly suggest accessing the bank directly using the same method as readpixel fastest above does, rather calling a function to do it, as that adds a lot of unneded overhead.
