The relative results are quite pleasing:
On the positive side, most benchmarks improved by a factor of 2-3x :).However cairo is no cure-all. The ductus rasterizer used in Sun's proprietary builds is still the winner in all tests.
Most likely this is the result of cairo beeing a two-step design:
First a path is tesselated into trapezoids, and later those trapezoids are rasterized, whereas ductus rasterizes directly.
However a positive side-effect of this design is trapezoid rasterization can be parallelized, so on dual-core systems it should be possible to get close to ductus.

Your work truly amaze me, I really look forward to be using the Cairo rasterizer on my ARM development boards.
Now with the AATileGenerator in place are time ready for a first source drop of Cairo? release early, release often ;)
Cheers!
