Windows is slow, so Windows in VirtualBox... Well, there are several 
reasons why it is slow:

* The quantity of messages sent via printf is just too huge. I'm sure it 
slow down the app.
* are you sure you compiled with -O2 or -O3 ?
* for now, only GDI (the default) and DirectDraw are working. I had no 
time to update the gl engine, nor the direct3d one. GDI is slow, as it is 
not hardware accelerated.

Well, I have nice fonts. Note that if your fontconfig setup is messed, the 
chosen fonts will be ugly.
