I don't know if it's a priority but it would be cool to see rendering speed improved.

That's an odd expectation to have. I would think rendering speed would stay the same or increase a bit; a lot of hand optimizations are going disappear.
Considering the age of Emacs's source code, I'd imagine there would be a lot of code that used to be optimal when it was written, but isn't any more (Sort of how replacing a lot of instances of Duff's Device in Xfree86 with memcpy has sped it up).
