For now with those sort of speeds, it sounds like this should be a driver option. But I sure don't understand why cairo takes so long to render clipped text, and I wonder if a question about that to the appropriate cairo-related list might give you a faster alternative for clipping text or they might find the efficiency bottleneck in their code for this case.
