I don't know the answer, but I would be inclined to ask the reverse question - is there any case in which using xshm produces a noticable performance benefit? I could never notice any difference, so I never paid much attention to the option.
My understanding is that the X shared memory extention attempts to reduce data tranfer between server and client, but presumably at the expense of the shared memory mapping activity, which I suppose might have some bad effects on a small PC for one reason or another.
