Morphic 3 / VectorGraphics uses custom algorithms, so it can't take 
advantage of OpenGL. I did some experiments with OpenCL, but the kernels 
are small and quick, so startups dominated, and there was no significant 
improvement over using CPU.

No, that I'm aware of.

Yeah. Me too. Actually, that was my proposal to the Pharo guys when both 
Cuis and Pharo were young. It was rejected.
