Its still very premature to consider using it for deployed applications, 
however its far enough along that you can start working with it / 
submitting patches for it :)

Cairo currently draws to a CGBitmapContext and blits the result to a 
real CGContext.  This is slower than drawing directly on a CGContext but 
there are a number of reasons that cairo does this (mostly explained in 
the cairo-quartz-surface.c file).
