I agree with Jon. And hardware acceleration is in tension with the generality of the extreme generality of formulating images as general (computable) functions on space (and hence arbitrary non-linear transformations, etc).
*Unless*, you abandon the traditional acceleration of a fixed set of 2D (or 3D) primitives and transformations and instead compile into graphics processor code as in http://conal.net/Vertigo. BTW, I'd love to find one or more enthusiastic collaborators to help create and release open-source, cross-platform, and successors to Pan & Vertigo.
