It generally is. Drivers have slowly stopped using many of the hardware 
acceleration as 2D acceleration in many cards have languished and it is often 
faster to do in software, or the hardware accelerated ones are very limited 
types of operations, that are basically unused in modern application (almost 
all non-antialiased for instance). There is a reason Xorg has been abandoned 
by its own core developers in favor of Wayland.

As for the code you showed, that is so 90s. Please enable anti-aliasing, and 
try again. Or do any kind of advanced pattern or line endings and joins.
