    There's sources all over the place that include that fix, a couple that I posted here yesterday for example. I can't seem to find an answer to my specific question in them though.

    OK I did some tests with the options. I used a hardware acceleration test site, and with no acceleration at all, I get 13 FPS max. With full HA I get between 73 and 83 FPS, and with HA on, but using the trick to fix fonts, I get between 17 and 23 FPS. My conclusion is for now I can live with using the trick because my daily browsing does not need full on HA. Here is the site if you want to test it yourself: Hardware Acceleration Stress Test.

    I guess that font hardware acceleration was a pretty significant part of it... also, with this fix, I've found pages not to scroll as smooth and some other things.
