This is excellent! I've been meaning to look into speeding up
get_glyph_extents, as it is a bottleneck on the 770, but now that
you've dramatically reduced the number of times it is called, I won't
need to. Nice job.

Well, according to these profiles:

your improvement should make a large difference on the 770. I'll try
to get you numbers, if Xan doesn't beat me to it.
