As I mentioned earlier in the other thread, if this really is
important for you, you should try the official experimental OpenGL
driver for Pi.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/another-new-raspbian-release/

That driver is designed to address all the issues you are concerned
about. (Caveat: it doesn't address the memory consumption requirements
that Gabriel was concerned about.)

Since nobody else has tried it yet and reported back, we'd all be
interested in hearing the details of how it works.
