Speaking as the guy who wrote the mozilla svg renderer cairo
backend and who does a fair bit of work on the gdi+ backend, I
can say that the gdi+ backend tends to be quite a bit faster and
is feature matched with cairo backend (and is currently better at
text).  If you're encountering any particular problems we'd like
to hear of them in the mozilla bugzilla.

I am working on landing a snapshot of cairo in the mozilla source
tree, which will be used for unix and mac platforms.
