The VM is not particularly stable even on linux when it comes to FreeType and 
Cairo.
Considering crashes on Windows do not even produce crash dumps, I don't see the 
problems being fixed anytime soon (unless the fix for linux will also magically 
fix windows too).

It crashes during cairo repaint, and it doesn't really matter what it was 
triggered by.

No, because it doesn't exist. (See the end.)

I don't know what you mean. But if you think that it would prevent the crashes, 
then know it will not.

No. That's VM / VM+plugins issue.

Some examples visualize a ton of data, so they are slow. (There are not many 
performance optimizations in Roassal.)

There is nothing like "animationless" or "animationfull" repaint, just like 
video is just static images repainted in fast succession (e.g. 30 or 60 images 
per second).
Repaint is a repaint. If it looks "animated", that's because there are many 
repaints occurring quickly.
