i see.
nevertheless this is usually not true with Gem.
Gem is openGL based, meaning it uses hardware acceleration.
off-the-shelf gfx hardware has been highly pushed by aming industries,
which made 3d operations be more optimized than 2d operations...

so: [text3d] should be better than [text2d] in most cases (the latter
sometimes is needed when you want to use antialiasing)
[pix_draw] is usually way less efficient than [pix_texture]+[rectangle]
