Oh, and I should also point out the following "prior art":

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at cairographics.org:/cvs/cairo co	cairo-demo/svgspacewar

(Use  'a', 'd', 'w', and left 'control' keys to control the blue
ship. You might succeed at controlling the red ship if you have a
numeric keypad (I did not)).

That program is quite fast for me, and examining its code might be
instructive for you.

It's worth noting that in spite of its name, it's not actually using
any SVG in the program, but simply making direct cairo calls to draw
the background and the spaceships.
