Further thoughts on this topic:

By using Cairo without Render, I basically shifted the CPU burden from the X server to my application. 
Profiling I see roughly the same CPU consumption for combined CVS X.org + my app, with and without 
Render. But in actual use, the application feels more responsive without Render, less latency maybe?

I want to rely on Cairo (for my own code as well) & GTK 2.8 and future versions, especially for my 
Windows users where it works pretty well. I want the distribute the compiled binary to my Mac OS X 
users. Since they don't normally have those libraries, I link to them statically on Mac OS, so I have 
control over them. While I could bundle an X server with my application (on Mac OS X the X server is 
just another application), this is fragile. I hope pixman is kept fairly in sync with x.org server fb, is this 
true?

Any optimization in the higher levels of Cairo and GDK/GTK would be welcome of course :-). This 
would benefit all platforms. I could help in testing and profiling.
