That's based on feedback we got from most people who tested the new AGG 
rendering. In most cases the impact was minimal and I think we even 
heard of some cases where performance was better.

However I think there may have been a few exceptions, and your case is 
clearly one. I didn't work directly on the AGG rendering myself so I 
cannot comment on what could result in this performance hit. I'll let 
those who know that part better comment on that.

BTW, if you could share a small test case (data + mapfile) that 
demonstrates the difference then that would increase your chances of 
getting help.
