I don't get it either. The 2D APIs used for font rendering built into every window system (xrender, etc.) are already hardware accelerated and more than fast enough. Going to OpenGL or whatever this uses just seems ridiculous. There's no use case for rendering your terminal emulator at 10,000 frames per second.
