And here's another one:

http://webcvs.cairographics.org/cairo-demo/svgspacewar/

Both of those are "playable" but just barely in some case. They are
also both so simple that we should be able to make them blisteringly
fast. So, yes, there are some performance problems in cairo.

I'm looking forward to spending all of my summer working on improving
cairo performance.
