radeon doesn't call any pixman stuff directly.  It just provides EXA hooks and
the core EXA code in the xserver does the rest.  I suspect you are hitting a
software fallback for a specific operation and due to the migration of data
from then back to vram you are seeing the slow down.  With accel disabled, the
driver uses shadowfb which keeps the framebuffer in system ram so software
fallbacks do not require migration across the bus.
