Not a feature idea: Just something to be aware of - Blend2D Vector Engine is supremely fast

[Daniel]

https://blend2d.com/ - Blend2D engine is an open source, permissive Zlib licensed vector rendering engine. What's unique about it is that it is blazingly fast (I tried it in a sandbox) and is very optimised for multithread performance, but does not need GPUs. I've suggested Inkscape to ditch ageing Cairo and adopt it. Just a project to be aware of if you're not already.

Performance benchmarks are here: https://blend2d.com/performance.html - It compares very well against others such as Skia and Cairo.

@Daniel I’ve taken a look at this rendering engine. Overall it feels really good, but there is still plenty of work left to do, meaning it’s still a work in progress. If it gets fully polished in the future, it will likely be unbeatable in the field of CPU rendering.

@Daniel I will test this at some point in the near future.
