No, nobody can tell you this.  Is the drawable on the same machine, or
across a network?  Are you using the shared memory extensions?  Are
you filling an image and copying to the drawable, or are you using
drawing functions?  What video card is it, and is it accelerated?

Those are just the relevant questions that you'd need to consider to
even begin to estimate an answer to the question, that come to mind in
about 15 seconds of thought.  I'm sure I've missed as many biggies as
I've asked.
