[Bug 245847] Re: high cpu load cairo-dock (interpid)

[huiii]

hello, to inform you on what i understood is really the case:

-on hardy we have a package which we need to run nearly any app on ubuntu called libcairo.
this package was compiled with --glitz enabled.
glitz renders the graphics through the gpu of your 3d-graphic-card, like nvidia.
which means, what costs normally 70% CPU to render zooming .svg, with GPU it is 1000x faster and keeps CPU low at 5%. 

-now on inteprid, this package libcairo is called libcairo2 and it comes unfortunately without --glitz enabled.
so your cairo-dock is not usable or works very slow and slugish.
compiling libcairo2 myself with --glitz enabled resulted in cairo-dock being able to run with the option --glitz but there seems something in libcairo2 to be wrong and the rendering looks very bad.
i guess that is why it comes now without glitz enabled.

hope this helps to look further
