Maybe you need something a little less ambitious and resource-intensive
than Cairo.

* For a start, take out anti-aliasing.
* Also take out Bézier curves and clipping paths.
* Remove transformation matrices as well.
* Avoid fancy line styles. Some drawing operators may be OK.
* Also, good-bye mesh patterns.
* Finally, replace floating-point coordinates with integers. 16-bit
  integer coordinates ought to be enough for any reasonable drawing
  area.

For comparison, Macintosh Color QuickDraw was capable of drawing
full-colour, full-screen graphics at interactive speeds on a 25MHz
Motorola 68040 processor in 1993--within the above limitations.

(I still have a machine of that vintage and spec in a corner of my
office.)
