I bisected it down to the commit below, but I'm afraid that's not too
helpful:

    image: Implement high level interface.
    
    Write a dedicated compositor for pixman so that we avoid the
    middle-layer syndrome of surface-fallback. The major upshot of
    this rewrite is that the image surface is now several times
    quicker for glyph compositing, which dramatically improves
    performance for text rendering by firefox and friends. It also
    uses a couple of the new scan convertors, such as the rectangular
    scan converter for rectilinear paths.
