So the procedure is that at the refresh rate you create a new surface, do
all drawing into its context, get the image bits, send them out, destroy
the surface. Is it so?

You need 10ms (100Hz) for things like running waveforms and very stable
latencies (magnitude is unimportant). Otherwise the output would look
jerky.

Yes, that's the idea. Somehow to work around porting all non-portable GTK
stuff. I thought that GTK with the Broadway backend would become portable
and small, because all the mess with themes etc would move to the remote
host.
