I don't see why we would need to convert back to an image at all if the user doesn't call getImageBuffer.
Many times all we do with canvas is transform; drawImage; fillRect; transform; drawImage; etc.
In that case, which is much more common than getting the image buffer or setting pixels directly, HW acceleration is crucial.

No'am
