I agree with Jon. And hardware acceleration is in tension with the
generality of the extreme generality of formulating images as general
(computable) functions on space (and hence arbitrary non-linear
transformations, etc).
*Unless*, you abandon the traditional acceleration of a fixed set of 2D (or
3D) primitives and transformations and instead compile into graphics
processor code as in http://conal.net/Vertigo.
BTW, I'd love to find one or more enthusiastic collaborators to help create
and release open-source, cross-platform, and successors to Pan & Vertigo.
Anyone interested?

If you want to make it fast you should be using hardware acceleration.
