on how libart compares to Quartz as shipped with 10.1 regarding

Quartz should be significantly faster than libart, because it is optimized for AltiVec/G4.


What has come of "full PDF 1.4 support for libart" ?

Raph was doing (did) all that work in Ghostscript 7, and then planned to back it into libart - but I haven't seen that "back-porting" happen yet. NOTE: this is just support of the new transparency models, which are also still covered by Adobe patents (so that may have something to do with it also).
