Hi, Carlos! It's awesom to see such a progress. >From some moment this week I've got a strong feeling that the finished cairo implementation is somewhere near, on the horizon. That is awesome. Of course, there's still a lot of work, I understand. But it will be such a significant step even if we will not gain desired speed increase! Please keep your hard work! Thank you!
