I just ran the same tests on our GDK backend which is using the
FreeType2 Pango backend and the timings are slightly slower than
the ones for X11 but far from being as bad as the ones Hans 
obtained for the Win32 backend. So there must indeed be a problem 
in the Win32 backend.

The fact that wrapping lines takes a considerable amount of time
no matter what backend is used, makes me think however that the 
code could need some optimizations as Hans suggested.
