(Get the code!)
I've just compiled cairo and pixman from git expecting to solve the bitmap downscaling issues with current cairo. It works great, but I noticed an important performance hit, specially when zooming out.
The problem doesn't seem to be related to zooming itself, but to redrawing. Zooming in and out in outline mode is fast.
It's not related to bitmap resampling either, since the lag is also noticeable with pure vectors, without any filter.
The performance hit when zooming out a relatively complex artwork is really important, measurable in seconds. With simpler stuff it's still noticeable.
