evas (a canvas library) and ecore. But i've written their port. And I
maintain them. So any change in xcb is not a problem.

thanks.
i've profiled it for fun and i realized that computing sin ans cos
coordinates were too consuming. In addition, it's now easier to test the
differences between shm and no shm, now that it's not the computations
that are the most exepensive.

no. The computations in flame are optimized, I think. Except it would be
better to write the code in asm. But not by me :)
