If your VM has the bug, then indeed -xshm will make no difference. 
Once it's fixed, though, there should be a big difference in the
simple "[Display forceToScreen] timeToRun".

Well, not quite -- I believe it is actually available on Linux/ppc.  But if
you're on Linux/x86, then jitter isn't available, and "make install" will
fail.  It's a cheesy bug, and one fix is described on the patches page.
