This guy on Reddit is getting 60+ frames per second with DOTA2 at maximum settings using radeonsi, kernel 3.13, and a HD 7770. I am so upgrading to AMD for open source goodness.

That can show up in certain apps, but not usually the desktop shell itself anymore.
Are you saying it is only used for things like LXDE / compositing turned of?
Then it would be barely of interest for anyone using a > mid range Graphics Card, cause all those have enough power to turn compositing on....

Chris Wilson didn't waste his time without a reason.
So when I browse the internet, a new page would be drawn faster or when I paint in gimp / load a picture or load a pdf - all those stuff would be drawn and scrolled faster? interesting.

In which use cases is it really used if one uses say KDE, GNOME3, XFCE or Unity with compositing turned on?

With Wayland, XRender will likely largely go away. XWayland apps will still use it, but native apps will probably just use standard OpenGL acceleration.
