An alternative to Raster is ListDensityPlot or DensityGraphics, as in
ListDensityPlot[Table[Random[],{i,10},{j,10}],ColorFunction->Hue,Mesh->False]
Note that if you don't turn off the mesh you will really slow down the
rendering. This is really the same as using Raster, look at the above
expression with FullForm[Graphics[%]].
As for using Raster, if you don't need a custom palette, the following
construction is simpler
Show[Graphics[Raster[Table[Random[],{i,10},{j,10}],ColorFunction->Hue]]]
