Cairo (which is used in normal and high quality mode) does not seems to
require that much CPU or memory. What it _is_ sensitive to is the
graphical card you use or, mostly, how good the X driver is for your
graphical card.
I will not mention names, but there are big brands you should avoid like
the plague (yeah yeah, Swedish expression). ;) Other card needs the
proprietary X drivers to work properly with Cairo etc.
