Very cool indeed.

The days of fearing to click on large methods due to looong rendering times are numbered (e.g. Seaside FileLibrary uploaded files... like jQuery or images).

PluggableTextMorph does a hell of a lot of twisted things, I guess we'll get much improved understandability as well with the Tx things.

Kepp up the good work, it is much appreciated!

As a followup on discussion about improving/benching text stuff.
Just out of curiosity, wanted to compare how sloooow athens with cairo
comparing to good old bitblt in terms of displaying text.

See for yourselves.

Sure comparison is very rough (text are different

�- in athens i using freetype font, in workspace is raster font)

but at least both windows displaying same amount of text.

(that i think what is relevant to us, humans ;) )

And, of course, to make things more precise need to write more code to make sure

it renders exact contents of the text morph fully without any clipping, in both cases).

And frankly, i am not in a mood of making/coding precise benchmark now. :)

Why i posting this, is mainly because i am quite surprised by numbers.
i expected opposite proportion..

And i still almost didn't optimized things.
