Hi Marco,

I hope you have the patience to wait for the integration of the GAL. I've done these performance tests before I've started to write the code and I've narrowed my selection to a direct, simple OpenGL backend for speed and a cairo variant. With the interface that I've created you can write your own plugin for another backend, but I'd prefer to concentrate on these two first.
Dick has already started to integrate the VECTOR2D class, which is our independent implementation of a point/vector.
I'm doing at the moment some code cleaning and go through all examples and then I'll upload an updated version.
I need some help for testing it on OSX, perhaps if you have some time left?

Thanks,
Torsten
