Very fast 4-sided polygon drawing

I have to draw approximately 27,000 4-sided polygons to a TImage
canvas as quickly as possible. Preferably less than a few
seconds.

Currently I am using the Win API polygon() call... which takes
about 7 seconds to draw all the polygons. Is there a faster
way? Would it be faster to write my own polygon function
and BitBlt to the image? Or is this about as fast as it gets?
