Excellent indeed. And look how short the patch is! The only things
that immediately come to my mind are:
- Needs locking around the cache. Then you can use a static cursor
too, for faster lookup (a cache of one there in itself).
- With just backend comparison, does this work with two different X
displays? Guess not.
- We have a faster random() implementation in cairo. Lets use that.
