Vector graphics, whether it's used by SVG, User interface, or webpage rendering, is currently done by the CPU.

At siggraph 2012, there was a talk by Mark Kilgard (the inventor of GLUT), who demoed GPU accelerated vector graphics. I think this is big, because most of the graphics we deal today are in the form of Vectors.

I think this deserves some attention.
