For some scripts Graphite is faster and for others it is slower. But it is not much slower and it is sometimes much faster. The more lookups that fire in your font (particularly contextual lookups) the more likely that Graphite will be faster.
Without any offence to anybody, and with no desire to bash OT but only to make things "clear" (?) it appears (from this) that the basic principle upon which OT lookup tables were designed aren't very effective. Is that so?
It being an external library has nothing to do with it.
Oh -- right -- I learnt this early along my (limited) programming knowledge but forgot it -- since there is direct linkage of the HB code against the Graphite library, it is fast. (Right?)
