[cairo] Cairo Drawing Speed

[Duong Hoang Linh]

Hi Emmanuel,

This is my code for drawing line:

    cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 0, 0, 0);
    cairo_set_line_width (cr, 7);
    cairo_set_line_cap  (cr, CAIRO_LINE_CAP_ROUND);
    cairo_set_line_join (cr, CAIRO_LINE_JOIN_ROUND);

    for(int k=0;k<vLines.size();k++)
    {
        cairo_move_to (cr, vLines[k].ptLineArray[0].x, 
vLines[k].ptLineArray[0].y);
        for(int i=1;i<vLines[k].numLinePoints;i++)
            cairo_line_to (cr, vLines[k].ptLineArray[i].x, 
vLines[k].ptLineArray[i].y);
    }

    cairo_stroke_preserve (cr);

    cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 1, 1, 1);
    cairo_set_line_width (cr, 4);

    cairo_stroke (cr);

I run this code on wince 5.0 device, processor ARM920T, 40MB RAM.

In more detail, i measure the time execution of cairo_stroke and it 
takes from 100-120ms. And in total, i need to do cairo_stroke 6 times, 
which add up to 700+ms.

Thanks.
