Cairoization has seen no progress so far, in part because cairo turned out to be very slow, even slower than we are at the moment. Also we all wait for Xara renderer sources to open, with the hope to borrow some of it to Inkscape and/or to Cairo.
With regard to Cairo, it is gaining performance benefits quite rapidly, due largely to the attention it's gained from being included in both Firefox and Xorg. I expect our assumptions about Cairo will need to continually be re-evaluated, and I suspect the performance issues we'd noticed a few months ago may not be so severe in Cairo-head.
