not necessarily. You can create a GraphicsContext from a wx.DC, you may 
be able to just add that step for drawing polycurves.

you can create a GraphicsContext from a wxMemeoryDC, so yes, you can 
draw to a buffer.

I haev no idea what the impact on performance would be, but in general, 
GraphicsContext is slower than DC.

yup. I know I never need a non-agg wx, but then I can see why folks 
running remote X severs would want it.

I wonder if there is another way to speed that up with Agg -- can you 
compress the bitmap data to pass it to the Xserver? is that happening 
already?
