isn't swrast mesa's slowest fallback "I have no GL" type driver? I'm
pretty sure this isn't going to be all that performant. If you don't
have a GPU, then it might be worthwhile looking into llvmpipe. Mer
(http://www.merproject.org) has been doing this, with some limited
success to date (it seems to not work well on ARM at this point), but
at least on x86, we've seen high framerates with a GL accelerated UI.

hope this helps,
