Old (386/486-era) systems with no FPU would seem to hang for seconds at a time while the X server rendered fonts. Even on systems with an FPU, using the font server made X *much* more responsive/smooth. I know most people probably don't remember those days, but surely there are still smaller systems that benefit greatly from the font server...
