Does it even make sense to still look at GDK drawing performance when
most (or at least more and more) drawing is done via Cairo nowadays? It
occurs to me that it would make more sense to put that effort into
optimizing Cairo on the target platform.

But first of all one should do some benchmarking and profiling to find
out what operations are actually slowing down real-world applications.
