Just to kill your curiosity I'm the co-maintainer of gnome-mag and I
trying to discover if cairo can help us in the magnification process,
since cairo supports lot's of back-ends, including Xrender and OpenGL,
and is very easy to change from one to another, so an initial scale can
be done in hardware and more intensive smoothing algorithms can be
applied in software, this way when the user is scrolling the mouse
around the desktop the magnifier screen get's updated quickly and only
when the user stop to move the mouse ore intensive algorithms will be
applied.

Best regards,
Carlos.
