Maybe you could give my twtk a little try on your hw - especially moving
the windows tends to be slow (even on an i7 machine!). The interesting
part is that the final composition is the slowest part (first the dirty
widgets are rendered into a group, which is saved to a pattern - finall
ending up w/ a big root pattern, which then is rendered with clipping to
the actually changed regions).

By the way:

Where exactly is the clipping applied ? Will clipped-out objects still
appear in the saved regions or do they get thrown out earlier ?
Or turn the question around: on the actual rasterization (in image
surface) are the clipped-out objects still calculated (but their pixels
just not painted down to the surface) or are they skipped completely ?
