That's only necessary when we can't make it fast enough to begin
with! :-)

I think the first step is for someone to simply spend a little time
figuring out what is slow:

 - Gradients
 - Scaled images
 - Solid color backgrounds?

If we are scaling images *via Cairo* that is known to be slow with
older X servers; if investigation proves that actually is the problem,
it can be worked around.
