I don't think those particular tricks wouldn't work on windows, and for 
Mac + X11 the shared memory might work but not xrender. However if gtk 
is built with cairo support and cairo is build with glitz support (used 
for an opengl backend), it might be possible that that gtk renders could 
be accelerated on all platforms supporting opengl
