Hi!

I have some random questions about the Cairo binding supported by Athens.

 - the rendering is done by the graphic card isn’t it?

 - Once rendered, is the produced bitmap copied by the CPU in Pharo? With 
Roassal3d, we are facing a problem of performance because there is an 
unnecessary copy between the graphic card and the Form displayed by Pharo. I 
guess we have the same problem with Cairo.

 - Is there an example of clipping in Cairo?

 - Any idea how efficient the clipping is? I mean, will I gain a lot by not 
displaying elements located outside the visual part or should I leave the 
clipping do the job?

Cheers,
Alexandre
