Most rendering is done by a software library called pixman. A few parts are accelerated but not much. But yes, if you do scaling of images a lot, it is hardware accelerated, and can be faster than Qt raster if you manage your QPixmaps well.
But for most applications Qt raster engine is faster. Making full use of the native X11 engine is a more delicate process. And typically using the OpenGL backed will be even faster unless you need to run X11 remotely.
