Better, worse, comparable?

better, about 1.5-2.0 seconds

Nope, I did something for myself. -- see attachment

the .ink really is just a sequence of stroke anchor points. I converted to ps via

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print<<EOF;
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 841
%%PageMedia: a4
.2 .2 scale
EOF

$nstrokes=<STDIN>;
for(my $i=0; $i<$nstrokes; ++$i )
  {
	 $npoints=<STDIN>;
	 for( my $j=0; $j<$npoints; ++$j )
		{
		  ($x,$y)=split(/\s+/,<STDIN>);
		  if( $j==0 ) { print("$x $y moveto ") }
		  else { print("$x $y lineto "); };
		}
	 print("stroke\n");
  }
print("showpage\n");

The original picture was screen-filling, the extremely long protruding spikes must be some sampling error at the screen boundary.
