My suggestion is to use Skia (from Chrome), actually, since it has software and hardware backends. This would allow switching based on which gives better performance on a given machine, and easy porting to other devices, such as Android.

The remote-canvas code is a proof-of-concept for this, the aim would be to use the same protocol to render the canvases in different threads.

Kind regards,
James
