> My experience is that cairoDevice is a lot slower than Cairo,
especially
on Windows, and about equally flaky. If you see how many layers are
involved with Cairo on Windows you will not be surprised.
Actually, I ended up trying to load deviceCairo simply because it was
the only other package with the string "Cairo" in it besides "Cairo"
itself ;-). I suspected some interaction between the two libraries
(deviceCairo and Cairo) so that's why I tried to load it hoping it would
solve the flakiness of the CairoWin display.

which supports it in the windows() device.
Thanx for the tip.
