you could.. then again you could get a considerably faster renderer
with imlib2 - i've done performance tests and it beats gdk-rgb by about
5-10% and gdk-pixbuf form double the speed and up :)

i'm workign on getting hardware acceleration into imlib2 right now
actualy.. it will take a little while.. but i'm personally banking on
hardware accel - so it WILL happen :)
