Depends your needs, your OS and your hardware.

Under Windows and Linux with Nvidia (and recent ATI drivers), the
performance are good enough in most situations.
(don't forget that the first access to a graphic feature is slow due to
the load of the libs).

And in the computing engine, Scilab 5 family is much faster than the 4.
