This issue has been worked on. See the main page of the inkscape website: one of the Google summer of code projects targeted rendering to Caïro which resulted in a performance increase. Simultaneously multicore support was introduced during this project and the plan was to work further on OpenCL implementation. Hopefully all this makes it into inkscape 0.49
