 <!-- TODO: Clean up long sentences, hedge, ensure link text is meaningfuly, etc. -->
 In order to get a better understanding of where we lie performance-wise, we included `tiny-skia` and `vello-cpu` in the [Blend2D benchmark harness](https://blend2d.com/performance.html), a comprehensive benchmarking tool that tests the performance of different parts of a 2D renderer and compares it against other renderers.
 In order to do so, a [fork](https://github.com/LaurenzV/blend2d-apps/tree/benching) of the benchmark harness was created that uses C bindings to both libraries to include them in the harness.

 Nevertheless, by looking at this chart, it is clear that `vello-cpu` has very impressive performance and on track to become the fastest CPU-based renderer in the Rust ecosystem! When taking all renderers into consideration, Blend2D is still the clear winner in terms of raw performance, but `vello-cpu` does end up taking the second place in many of the benchmarks and beating other renderers such as Skia and Cairo, especially as the size of the geometry gets larger. Similarly to Blend2D, `vello-cpu` also offers a multi-threaded rendering mode, which is especially effective when drawing larger geometries with curves or when using complex paints such as gradients or patterns.
