Computers still aren't really fast enough :-(. Both gegl and krita have 
performance problems. Nobody has yet been able to do a nice watercolor 
simulation realtime at a resolution of more than 1024x1024, and most only 
give 512x512, not even with gpu acceleration or with beowulf clusters. A 
complicating issue is that screens are getting bigger, so we need to 
calculate waymore display pixels.
