true; reading back, i get the feeling my postings have been a bit
negative towards Cairo (suggesting Qt, among others), but that's not the
case.
Cairo was definitely the best option for a project like Shoebot to get
started. And it still is; running shoebot scripts through the
command-line is fast as hell! Our main bottleneck is clearly on our side
(too many transform recalculations, too many GTK refreshes, etc.)
and anyway, i think there's only stuff to be gained if other backends
are implemented -- if not only for our own benchmarking, catering to
specific needs is a point to consider (e.g. OpenGL is great for
animation, but not at all for images intended for print).
so i, for one, keep welcoming our old Cairo overlords :>

I've always thought cairo had great potential so, was disapointed to find it
seeming slow (for the record, I'm not convinced it's the entire or even most of
the slowness problem in our case). So it's good to see work going into making
it go fast.
Cairo enables so many integration opportunities it would be bad if it's held up
by being slow.

those benchmarks are obviously not good reference (3 years old, Cairo 1.4
wasn't even out yet).
