Those aren't mutually-exclusive options. The best way to draw on a
GtkDrawingArea (in my opinion) is to do that with cairo.

See, for example the second half of this tutorial:

http://www.gnomejournal.org/article/34/writing-a-widget-using-cairo-and-gtk28

If you just write a function to handle the expose event of your
GtkDrawingArea then you can use cairo to draw in it as much as you'd
like.

I'm the cairo maintainer, and I recently subscribed to this mailing
list. We're currently working on improving the cairo performance as
much as possible, (and many of the people actively working on it are
doing it with a focus on embedded devices such as the 770).

So please give it a try, and if things are slower than you'd like or
expect, let us know so we can look at those cases that you are
hitting.
