That might be me :) That said, I think iOS is not a marginal platform -
perhaps differently abled :) That it is not a major target for cairo is
a matter of time and a bit of chicken & egg issue. It would be if there
was support for it.

As for users that can't solve their own problems - that describes
majority of users of any library, pixman not being any different.

I'll give your pre-compiled optimized code a try. I wonder if there is a
way to make some sort of a step-by-step writeup of what's needed to make
code like that, so that someone with access to both Linux and iOS/MacOS
could repeat these steps.
