Quoting from your last e-mail:
"The new painting code regroups the drawing commands in
multiple switch-statements to prepare for far simpler code
with booleans for different elements, and not one type only."

Indeed it's not clear to me what the above line means exactly, it just
smells like there is something more cooking. Sorry If I've
misunderstood.

One little secret of current algorithm is that it just needs to know
the "state" of previous revision graph to calculate the next one. (see
Git::updateLanes() and lanes.cpp), it's a kind of a "rasterized" graph
drawing, i.e. line by line.

I didn't studied gitk in deep but it seems a little bit less simpler.
Anyway if you are interested it's for sure worth trying ;-)
