That's only necessary when we can't make it fast enough to begin
with! :-)
I think the first step is for someone to simply spend a little time
figuring out what is slow:
- Gradients
- Scaled images
- Solid color backgrounds?
If we are scaling images *via Cairo* that is known to be slow with
older X servers; if investigation proves that actually is the problem,
it can be worked around.
