This has come up before:

This performance regression was introduced when the "simple repeat" code
was removed. But I'm not sure hacking it into the ARM backend is the
right plan. See this mail for a different approach:

    http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pixman/2010-December/000815.html

I have a branch with a start on doing it that way here:

    http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~sandmann/pixman/log/?h=simple-repeat

which may or may not be useful as a starting point. (I'd be interested
in seeing what the benchmark results of that branch are).
