Hm... I'm more concerned about running user-land scripts and shaders than sprites. If I wanted raw pixel-blits per second I could just use SDL.

Do you have any concrete numbers on compute (ie. scripts)?

Do you support shaders?

eg. How would you do this in DragonRuby? --> https://github.com/keijiro/StableFluids

Ie. a compute buffer that renders a fluid simulation in real time?
