<div dir="ltr">I'm pretty new to Cairo, and I've been looking at using it for a codebase that currently uses, variously, Xlib, GDI, GDI+, and Quartz, among others. Performance is one of my chief concerns, though. At the moment I'm looking at text performance, and I have some serious concerns. For now, I am just benchmarking on Windows, and only for to-screen rendering (as opposed to printing or PS/PDF/etc).<br>
<br>Can someone give me some pointers on staying on the fast code paths for text rendering on win32? My tests so far show image and DDB both taking about 15-20x as long as our GDI implementation, and 24-bit DIB taking about 5x as long.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br><br>Damian<br><br>
