That is strange. The first complaint I here that it is slow.  I ran
the the Lazarus Sprite demo, ported to use LCL and Cairo. It ran at
normal resolution and maximized (stretched drawing) and it was silky
smooth. CPU usage was constant between 0.0-0.3% which is very good.

Anybody know of a comparisons / performance tests between Cairo and
something like Agg/AggPas or SDL?
