Minimising glDrawArray calls in OpenGl es

I'd like to hear what people think the optimal draw calls are for Open GL ES (on the iphone). Specifically I've read in many places that it is best to minimise the number of calls to glDrawArrays/glDrawElements - I think Apple say 10 should be the max in their recent WWDC presentation. As I understand it to do this you need to put all ...

I'm using Bitmap Class' .setPixel and .getPixel to draw my bitmap fonts on .NET CF. But it is too slow, in java we have getRGB() and setRGB() to set array of colors with a single call.
