Actually EXA replaces the old XAA architecture which has many limitations on the operations that are accelerated. Nvidia did away with XAA and implemented acceleration on their own. The speed you get with Nvidia binary drivers running xcomposite is due to this.
EXA allows for xcomposite acceleration for other (modern) chipsets as well.
