Speed

Xara Xtreme has the world's most sophisticated, highest performance vector rendering engine. For the user this speed means less wait, and more productive and a more satisfying working environment. It also means more productivity and the ability to create more complex drawing, in less time.

Effects and drawings of this complexity are only realistically possible because of the sheer speed of Xara Xtreme
Many graphics packages will keep you waiting a few seconds while objects are drawn on the screen. In a complex document that can mean you have wasted a significant amount of time which can be very frustrating. With Xara Xtreme, when you create an image it appears instantly on the screen.

Speed isn't just restricted to creating and moving objects though - any time you manipulate an object by using one of the Direct Action Tools, the Profile or Attributes dialogs, or the Color Editor, any changes you make also appear instantly. This constant live-preview of all actions contrasts dramatically with other programs where you typically have a 'try it - wait - try it again until you get it right' approach.
