I perfectly understand that. But it doesn't change a thing. You are using PangoXft (pango_xft_font_get_font for example) and cairo, bridging in between yourself, instead of using PangoCairo. I won't comment on the level of pain that brings, and let alone what a broken design it is, but it does mean that I can't and won't spend time making it faster as all my focus is in PangoCairo...
