Do the actual hardware register write very early in vbl and swap the buffers in the main loop.
It doesn't hurt if the vbl set the same address several vbl in a row.

To do your own vbl routine isn't hard:

;init
move.l $70.w,save_vbl
move.l #myvbl,$70.w

;vblcode
myvbl:
move.l d0,-(sp)
move.l scraddr,d0
lsr.w #8,d0
move.l d0,$ffff8200.w
move.l (sp)+,d0
rte

;exit
move.l save_vbl,$70.w


However, if your main loop suddenly need less than 1 vbl in some cases, you need to wait for vbl so you don't swap around all buffers and end up on the visible one.
