Blend2D is a CPU-only rendering engine, so I don't think it's a fair comparison to ThorVG. If we're talking about CPU rendering, ThorVG is faster than Skia. (no idea about Blend2d) But at high resolutions, CPU rendering has serious limitations anyway. Blend2D is still more of an experimental project that JIT kills the compatiblity and Vello is not yet production-ready and webgpu only. No point of arguing fast today if it's not usable in real-world scenarios.

A CPU-only demo of ThorVG, a high-performance 2D vector graphics engine
I’ve built a demo app to showcase the performance of the ThorVG engine. Key features:
- Each enemy consists of 86 particles, with up to ~300 enemies on screen.
- Full-size (2K) subtle halo glow background bitmap image and 4 × 100 star layers.
- Real-time DropShadow and BlurEffects for ships, missiles, GUI, and outlines.
- At peak load, ~25,000 drawing objects rendered together.
- Runs fully stable at 120+ FPS with the Software Renderer on 2K resolution (tested on Apple M2 Pro).

Repo: https://github.com/thorvg/thorvg.janitor
This demo specifically highlights the Software Renderer (CPU only). GPU backends (OpenGL/WebGPU) are supported, but optimization work is ongoing.
ThorVG is an open-source high-performance 2D vector graphics engine designed for embedded, mobile, and web systems. This demo is intended as a performance showcase and stress test. Feedback and contributions are welcome!

ThorVG is essentially a real-time graphics engine. Sprite sheets are part of Godot's integration strategy, not a limitation of ThorVG.

there are some approaches: Analytic AA, SSAA, MSAA, SDFs, etc.

Current ThorVG itself is more like of a graphics engine; interactivity is typically handled at the toolkit level feature.
