On my system, it's faster to use hw-accelerated hlines everywhere except in
the filling primitives. Do you mean that the gfx driver needs to know which
drawing primitive just called the hline() method and decide accordingly ?
I'd rather use a static approach: for example, under Windows, I'm almost
certain that filling with hw-accelerated hlines is always slower than with
software-rendered hlines. So the hfiller() method would be connected to the
software renderer, whereas the regular hline() method would still be
connected to the hardware one.
