Course our Cairo renderer is quite slow for some reason, I assume it's

I don't think we're using Cairo inefficiently. I think the difference
stems from that AGG has had performance as its first priority when it
was developed. Cairo, on the other hand, attempted to find a balance
between usability, maintainability and performance. However, lately
Cairo has been improving a lot on performance. We won't notice this
until they get out a release for their development branch, though.
Yes, I also believe the Cairo backend is the future. However, aside of the
performance problems, there also is a correctness problem. Currently, we have
AGG > Cairo > OpenGL in correctness. Though Cairo being close to AGG. I
myself don't know AGG and very little of Cairo, so we'd need to find someone
with good Cairo-fu! ;-)
We only have a single bug filed against cairo in Savannah. But I take it
that there actually are more, and if so, it would be good if bugs were filed.
