The image surface optimization is going to have to wait a while due to font rendering. Good to know there's a way to squeeze out a bit more performance though.
As to stroking a bunch of lines at once... I wonder why this is faster and if it's also faster when the lines are pixel aligned (no AA). But anyway, it's rare that one can do that in practice, as one rarely has the need to draw 100s of lines in the exact same color. Try resizing the window (preferably bigger) before you click anything. I haven't tested it in a non-tiiling WM yet.

Yes, there are still plenty of problems with that branch, but for me it's at least as fast as the pre-Cairo non-sequencer. Good to know it's on the right track.
