I'm looking forward to your feedback.

Well, not really much feedback, I just played with the demo programs. I'm really impressed how well everything is already. Great job!

    I don't have wayland here, but this sounds super impressive.
    Way to go Manolo, you're amazing!

Conclusion: Using Cairo doesn't seem to be that slow in conjunction with Wayland which uses (AFAICT) memory mapped buffers for communication (rather than sockets or network connections like X11 does). How does "local X11" communicate? Anybody?

    Pretty sure X11 when used locally now uses IPC + shared memory when running locally,
    unix domain sockets instead of the overhead of TCP/networking.

    I have a vague memory that Silicon Graphics donated some code to X11 to improve the speed
    of rendering under X11, but I can't remember if it was specific to OpenGL (GLX), or included X11
    as a whole (Xsgi).

    MIT was behind a lot of improvements too, I don't remember the history very well.

    There may be more details burried in here:
