Customdrawn is LCL based. Meaning that even using low level drawing (X11 
and Windows) it must mimic the full fledged widgeset behaviors, just as 
if it were a gtk or qt widgetset. It turned out to be too slow to be of 
practical interest.

Currently my project is just a port of Kylix, and therefore has a 
working implementation both of Event Queue and TTimer, but it uses Qt 
for both, and moreover it takes advantage of Borland's copyrighted code. 
Some code is in a doubtful condition, being declared Open Source, some 
parts are proprietary. Therefore it can't be shared as it is.
My plans are to rewrite the code, in future, starting from the surely 
proprietary parts, but it'll take a lot of time.
