+Hi,
+
+Last month, Xan xtraced[1] cairo text drawing (using xlib), and noticed
+that cairo creates (and afterward destroys) a 1x1 pixmap (a cairo
+surface) every time it draws some text. Xft doesn't do this.
+
+Carl and Behdad suggested ways to, like Xft, cache surfaces so as not to
+have to recreate them all the time.
+
+As suggested by Carl in the same thread, I first investigated
+per-pattern caching of acquired surfaces. This didn't work as patterns
+mostly get copied before their surfaces are requested.
+
+Attached patch adds a simple 16-entry static cache to
+_cairo_pattern_acquire_surface_for_solid(). It still needs work, however
+this already yields a speedup[2] of 12% when drawing text using GTK+
+2.10, exceeding the performance of GTK+ 2.6. Yay!
+
+Comments appreciated,
+
+Jorn
