We currently have GPU compositing and rendering[1]. Other browsers will get this eventually and some have it already. We plan to explore this space quite a bit. The other thing we're starting to think about is using SIMD ops for layout, which isn't a GPU but falls into a similar "taking advantage of modern hardware" bucket. [1] Note that 2D rendering on the GPU is not currently a clear win. In theory you save a texture upload and get massively parallel drawing operations, but in practice there's a lot of overhead to deal with.
