The following video shows Mist AGA moving some lower depth windows around and SysInfo says the chipmem is 8.30 times an A600.

The disk performance is slow (speed tests shown in video) so loading icons in Workbench is not particularly fast but the AGA is fast. Using Peter K's icon.library and ThoR's new layers.library should provide a large speedup as well.
The FPGA Arcade shows how fast the FPGA gfx can be with a faster CPU and faster disk (using 68060 expansion board). It gives 27.00 chip speed vs A600 in SysInfo. The following video is several years old by the way.

The graphics may be a new chunky RTG graphics mode but the FPGA is handling all the graphics and Amiga custom chips. A 68060@100MHz helps performance a little too
