Hey,
Have you ever considered using AGG as the rendering engine in Inkscape? AGG (AntiGrain Geometry, http://www.antigrain.com/) is a very high quality and fast C++ 2D graphics engine and there's even an SVG renderer based on it (http://www.antigrain.com/svg/index.html).
Cairo seems to be very slow in all the benchmarks so I don't think it's very suitable. You should take a look at the AGG examples and join the AGG mailing list for more info.
