Within the cairo project, the last 6 months or so has seen an intense
effort focusing on the performance of cairo itself. That effort has
paid off considerably, as can be seen in the following highlights of
some of the performance differences from cairo 1.2.6 to cairo 1.4.0:
some of the performance differences from cairo 1.2.6 to cairo 1.4.0.
(Note: The performance results reported here were measured on an x86
laptop. Many of the improvements in 1.4---particular those involving
text rendering---are even more dramatic on embedded platforms without
hardware floating-point units. Such devices played an important part
of many of the optimizations that found their way into cairo over the
last few months.)
• Dramatic improvement when drawing objects that are mostly off-screen
