I'm meanwhile clipping to only the regions to be redrawn. Doesn't seem
to get faster (xcb), but even slower (drm).

Maybe the damage tracking itself is slowing it down ... I'll now try to
cache the matrices.

By the way: is there a way to create a region and subsequently add new
boxes to it, without going via a context ?
