Moving one pixel at a time is not really reasonable.  At 640x480, movement
rates would probably be in the range of 200 pixels per second.  That's a lot
of operations per second.

Better to update at a fixed rate (50 times per second would probably be
adequate), moving multiple pixels with each update.  If you really need
greater accuracy, interpolate positions between updates.
