Details

On Linux, DGA would provide a *significant* performance boost (this bug should be keyword 'perf'), but must be carefully done since it requires suid. I believe it is worth investigation, when resources permit.
Yeah. We'll get right on that.
Blizzard, do you want this bug? It doesn't sound like layout, which is essentially all XP code.
Not really. I don't have any intention of doing it.
While this is certainly an interesting idea, this is a bit too much work at the moment (considering the many other features/bugs that need to be worked on). Mozilla is open source, feel free to submit a patch for this (or get/hire someone to contribute). Marking for LATER. If someone else feels like a this should be labeled with a more appropriate resolution, feel free.
