On: SGI Gives Open Source some OpenGL Love

They have an answer for your speculations in their FAQ. For example: 2) SGI has their own motives for not letting others know the dynamic code generation secrets due to political reasons, though I cannot fathom what they'd be.

Dynamic assembly code generation for rasterization is not yet included, making software rendering performance slow. The geometry path assembly code optimizations which we ship to our commercial licensees are actually owned by other companies, so we don't have the rights to place them under an open source license. We will work with the companies involved to try and free up these components.
