Are you sure Cairo has/will have no blur? I heard it's committed to supporting everyhing that's in SVG, and this is a standard SVG filter.

But if Cairo gets Xara renderer, it will be just as fast.
Anyway, so far it's premature, since Xara's renderer is the part which is not opensourced yet (it remains a binary lib in their source tarball).
