Can't say I've noticed this - it all struck me as pretty fast in fact.

This is deliberate - there is code in cairo_renderer to do it but it
is ifdefed out at the moment.
The reason is that with the current release version of cairo adding
the clipping makes mapnik very slow rendering to cairo surfaces. It
also makes the resulting PDF very slow to render in evince as evince
is using cairo to render it and hits the same bug.
The current git head cairo code does not have this problem and is
capable of clipping without any noticeable slowdown.
