Try to pixel-scroll (using better-pixel-scroll-mode', soon to be
pixel-scroll-precise-mode) through an image with transforms (you can see
such an example by using eww to browse to gnu.org).

On a build without Cairo, which uses the X rendering extension to
achieve hardware acceleration of image scaling, everything is perfectly
smooth.  On a build with Cairo, it takes around second to scroll through
one or two pixels of such an image.

If nobody else knows why this is the case, I plan to look into it in a
few days, as this is within my field of expertise.  Thanks.
