PNG surface benchmark is imprecise indicator. The most important results are benchmarks for Image and Xlib surfaces because they are used for interactive mode.
We don't use anything but Image surface (at least at the moment), both for screen and for export.
Actually, in interactive mode, we draw directly on the Xlib surface provided by GTK. However, I might need to change this to accomodate filters.
Yes, filters are another reason to avoid this, which is what I recommended when we discussed this (another being relative slowness). Let's keep, at least for now, the old approach: render everything to image surface, apply filters to it if needed, and then output bitmap via the GDK call.
