See > also http://robert.ocallahan.org/2011/09/graphics-api-design.html. Also one thing to note here is that these posts all describe how cairo performs for Gecko, and as also described in the posts, cairo API is a poor choice for Gecko. So it's only natural that a better suited API for Gecko performs better, and it is not really something cairo should strive to compete against. -- Kalle Vahlman, [email protected] Powered by http://movial.com Interesting stuff at http://sandbox.movial.com -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
