I'm curious to know what cairo means in terms of performance for users. I've read some really good stuff about it, but it all seems to rely on "taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available (eg. through the X Render Extension or OpenGL)" (to quote from the cairographics.org web site). What does this mean for users without hardware acceleration? What does this mean for users with NVIDIA and ATI cards who don't have support for 3D rendering because current open source drivers aren't offering support for this? Given that gtp+-2.7.x (and beyond) is going to rely on Cairo for rendering, I'd really appreciate it if someone in the know could give a heads up on what this means for all users (since most of the focus (media wise) seems to look at hardware accelerated environments).
