The article talks about three things to accelerate the process of 
rendering: allocation of stuff on the stack instead of the heap during 
parsing of the font data, using dense accumulation buffers instead of 
sparse ones and exploiting them for parallelism. All of that can be done 
in C. Bytecode interpretation/hinting is a different story.
