Most likely Kicad is doing something that is not accelerated by the driver, so data has to be migrated to/from vram and synchronized with the GPU in order for the CPU to complete the operation. Turning off EXAPixmaps means pixmaps are not stored in GPU accessible memory and thus are not accelerated by the GPU. However, for non-accelerated operations there is less overhead since the data does not need to be migrated into CPU memory.
