My notes after looking at the profile for a short while, if anyone feels the
urge to optimize;

The lifespan of arguments that need arity packing/unpacking is well known,
rewriting to use explicit free should lessen the overhead somewhat.

With this kind of overhead just to create the array to hold results, it
might be worthwhile to use a buffer array (of sufficient size) for the
primitive, and copyFrom:to: to return the actual glyphs...
DRGEO:

Storing the path in DrGPointMorph, rather than recreating for each draw:,
should save alot of time.

Same thing here, only storing the paint, rather than converting from form
each draw.
This would also be beneficial to Roassal when zooming in and out of vusualization with a ton of labels.
