Depends on what you're doing with it, which backend you're using and
what you're comparing it to when you say "slow". You should probably
do some quick prototyping to get an idea of how it performs for your
projected use. That said, it's fast enough for GTK, OpenOffice, and
Firefox (among others) to use. And if you find a particularly slow
case, send it to the mailing list. Performance bugs get squashed
pretty fast.

Oh, and use the latest stable snapshot (1.3.12) as it much faster than
the 1.2.x series.
