Re: another patch...

Regarding improving the performance:

I can only recommend using gprof. It's very easy, and it really
helps when you want to find and address bottlenecks.

Also, I must confess that it was me that introduced the ugly integer
packed representation of the font information a long time ago.
That was done because profiling showed it to be a huge gain,
and at that point in time, it did in fact help.

I understand that the structure is different today, so hopefully
you won't have to revert to such a scheme again.

Greets,
