The issue is that skia draws in process whereas cairo draws predominantly in the X server. The issue is that the gtk2 widgets live in the X server. If we use skia for content then we need to read back the gtk2 widgets from the X server to composite them with skia. This adds a big overhead to every composite cycle.
The net result is that regular browsing is slower with skia but benchmarks may show a faster result.
