Some sort of transportation analogy might provide some additional
options.  Specifically words implying faster than average transport,
expedite, express, rush, dash, whisk, sweep, skirr, airlift, fling, lob,
propel, shunt, sprint, expel, volley, extradite, alight, launch, shoot,
boost, blast, flit, splash, disembark, bypass.  More hipsterly:
skedaddle, tote, spew, schlepp...

Or, sticking with display, a few more synonyms:  manifest, flourish,
brandish, flaunt, vaunt, divulge, evince, emanate.

Not sure any of these are any better than Present.  Schlepp would be fun.
