Well, I didn't gain anything - I just didn't lose as much as I feared ;-)

Yes, it's a big problem. AGG tries hard to be efficient, but it has a lot
of work to do and the CPU simply doesn't have anything like the horsepower
of the GPU. I'll be very interested to see the results of
auto-parallelization and auto-vectorization in Visual Studio 2012 when I
get my hands on it.

By the way, I just committed a few more changes to SVN. I did another round
of refactorization while tackling some issues with offset formats like
XRGB. I also updated "slight_blur" so that it works with renderers as well
as raw pixel formats.

Cheers,
