How complicated is your example program? Do you have a link to it or can
you send it by mail?

Uhm, can you tell us more about the cairo_paint() call? I assume you are
copying from the image surface that you created. Where are you copying
to? Is it just the call to cairo_paint() that takes so long or did you
measure more than just that?

Also, what exactly does "I'm passing GPU buffer directly" mean? Is the
GPU memory directly accessible to the CPU? If so, I would expect this to
be uncached and slow, which is why I am asking.

Cheers,
Uli
