Hi David,

I tried your patches against the current git cairo (latest commit
fed13e77e1de071ddaaf829aced10b02f6bc8c90).

Is it expected that cairo with these patches runs *much* slower
than without? I'm running simple test case and it seems to be
8+ times slower even in single thread.

Is there anything special I should do (i.e. revert some already
merged patches)?

I'll try to figure out what exactly caused the slowdown, but any hints
are apperciated...

I have used default setup (./autogen.sh; make) and
fontconfig 2.4.2, freetype 2.1.7 & 2.3.1

It's OT here, but I absolutely agree with you that ignornoring user-provided
options is... strange decision?

Thanks,
Jan
