I had a short look, it looks not bad, but Cairo offers more functions for instance .. I could include it in my benchmark to see how good it is.
Often have such gui libraries less functions than something that is specialized for graphics drawing, like Cairo, OpenGL, Anti Gain Geometry etc.

Ideas yes, but I'm sceptical about the integration into wxWidgets. Another question is, if it's really better than a Cairo or Open GL implementation.
