[webkit-help] hardware accelerated rendering path

[vizshala]

The latest cairo port does not support accelerate composition, nor does it
support hardware based primitive drawing. I think FireFox cairo d2d backend
can be a good reference in the primitive drawing. However, accelerated
composition seems to be more complicated because all resources I can find is
the source code under graphics/ca where Apple have implemented the
accelerated composition. Is there any document can help better understand
the details? Thanks.
