I think only EXA accelerates Render to any extent, so if EXA is being 
disabled (falling back to XAA) you *might* see a slowdown. (However, on my 
distinctly aged Athlon desktop with a distinctly aged Radeon video card, I 
see no performance problems with the render extension at all. However this 
might be because, my failing memory tells me, the Radeon 9250 et al are 
one of the few cards to have XAA-accelerated Render...)
