Or,

To make this quicker make a superbitmap (Image larger than the visible display) equal to the maximum scroll width/height.Then use

drawImage(Image img,int dx1,int dy1,int dx2,int dy2,

int sx1,int sy1,int sx2,int sy2,Color bgcolor,ImageObserver observer)

Then render your tiles in the offscreen portion of the area you

intend to scroll to and then use the sx,sy,sx2sy2 values to offset the

original Image into the target image in 1 blit.

Further, please port the render code you are using; perhaps we can see

some optimizations you may make to avoid major performance hits

I am sure what you want to do can be done in a timely manner.
