The fastest Cairo platform by 10x is glitz. The core of Xgl is based
on glitz. Seems to me like the fastest path to high performance Cairo
would be to get Xgl going.

Even if you make modifications to the open source XAA drivers
accelerating render there is no guarantee that NVidia/ATI will pick
them up. Chasing that path to accelerating Cairo performance is
ultimately a dead end.
