You still are talking about a x86 architecture with a discrete GPU.
It would be nice if it worked fast with no GPU at all like Gnome 2 did, so it can be used in Virtual machines, OSes with crappy drivers (*BSDs), weird architectures (MIPS, ARM, etc.)
Gnome 3 sacrificed all that compatibility to gain some nices graphics, I think it's not worth it.
