I think that's true for older apps that use the core X protocol, xman, xterm, xeyes, xclock are accelerated this way. For newer apps using newer toolkits like Gtk2/3, Qt, etc. I think there is a lot more bitmap shuffling because the client app toolkit depends on being able to do compositing, blending, antialiasing, etc. and shipping the result to the display.
