Try viewing the same page in outline mode. Note the memory difference. That's, more or less, what you will get in regular mode too once it's switched to cairo - at least for flat colors. It will likely be slower for gradients (don't know by how much), and it will be about as slow as now for blur because we still do blur ourselves. But still this should give you an idea.
If it proves advantageous, we should still be able to use our current gradient renderer with cairo. IIRC, it has some additional nicities over cairo's, including dithering to minimize the appearance of banding.
