Is your cursor the underlying cursor of the grid, or at least related to it? Then it's much simpler than you thought. Make sure that sch_backcolor is an integer or at least long enough numeric field - n(8,0) would suffice.

replace myCursor.sch_backcolor with rgb(111,222,333)

then

dynamicbackcolor="myCursor.sch_backcolor"

no iif()s, no icases, no calculations - you have the value and it's stored in the field, so your dynamic expression is just the field. And it refreshes your grid so much faster than when you have a method call in the expression. An iif() is not so bad, speedwise, but nothing beats a simple field.
