This is a post from the Cairo list. It benchmarks a Cairo program against image, xrender, glx implementations of Cario. You can see that 2D drawing is a the minimum 10x faster and sometimes 200x or more when using the 3D hardware. Data like this is the driving force for bring up xserver on a standalone OpenGL/mesa platform.
I can say with almost absolute certainty that none of the current open-source drivers would be able to achieve those levels of performance.
