This question is specific to Allegro 3D functions which aren't 
accelerated. It has nothing to do with rest of the Allegro. Things like 
blit are accelerated (if the platform supports it). Take a look at 
gfx_capabilities documentation for list of what accelerations Allegro 
supports:
http://alleg.sourceforge.net/onlinedocs/en/alleg008.html#gfx_capabilities
Other than that it also it supports DirectSound mixer (although for some 
reason is not the default).
