Hi,

thanks for reviewing these patches!
I wrote some comments below.

I also worried about this. The reason why I modified this to simply call 
more
specific fast path rather than pixman_fill() is that there seem to be no 
cases
where SSE2 or NEON fill function is called through C fast paths. I 
thought that
fast_composite_solid_fill() would be invoked only when it is delegated from
upper level of implementation, that is something like SSE2 or NEON do not
have solid fill fast path.

But if we use more complicated fast path mechanism in the future, I also
think that this modification can cause problems. So your below suggestion
seem to be more proper way of grabbing perfstat data. That is also good for
simple repeat which is basically C fast path but invokes other fast 
paths. So
I will modify this based on your nested begin/end suggestion.

Thanks,
