One pleasant side effect of shatter is that the acceleration layer should be able to catch rendering from source-only pictures and magically transform them into pixel-backed pictures if it thinks that'll be a win. So even for hardware without the cojones to do gradients, we should be able to do slightly better than pure software. - ajax
