I have neither enabled and Firefox+X11 is the smoothest Firefox on the same machine. May depend on drivers, versions, and config, obviously.

May depend on CPU performance :) On my 3.4GHz 4-core desktop, it is pretty much always smooth. But on my 1.7GHz 2-core laptop, async pan&zoom makes a noticeable difference.

FWIW I'm using it on an old Core2Duo and a mobile Sandy Bridge Dual Core, so nothing fast by today's standards.
