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.
