Fastest way to print 3 characters

What do you think would be the fastest way to print 3 characters. I thought it would be...

Code:

---

mov al, 8h        ; backspace
int 29h
mov al, ' '
int 29h
mov al, 8h
int 29h

---

But theres some slow down when using this. Got any ideas?

Why don't you talk directly to memory instead of using an INT? It's a LOT faster.

At my site, you will see a bunch of ZIPS, one of them is bound to show you some code on how to talk directly to memory.
