Yes, I read this (but tried to write a readable text, without too many sidetracks), and I hope it'll be in the trunk as soon as you can! :crossfingers: Many thanks anyway for trying to do something.
Merry Christmas, François.

But, like all free softwares, it has few problems. Some are notimportant, others may become disabling. Obviously filters belong to the second category. Not because there are buggy (they aren't), but because the rendering engine is just too slow, when you are using few "big" filters in a big picture and you want to export in a big size, it takes centuries.
The Cairo branch will make this problem slightly less severe. In some workloads it is many times faster. I also want to make an OpenCL backend for Cairo, which will allow it to use modern GPUs, but this is a more long term goal. Right now we are waiting until Cairo fixes this bug, which is the last issue precluding a merge: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32215
