We did this effect awhile ago for an old pygame font effect contest. Yes, plotting the pixels was way too slow. Solution! We plotted a smaller area of random pixels. Then blitted that as tiles to the larger area. Everytime you draw the random pixels you offset them on the screen by a random amount. You could also "flip" and "transpose" the image randomly each frame. Since you only have to plot random pixels for a smaller area one time this works very fast. In fact you could even load it from an image and use the same technique to jitter it around.
