Actually I investigated moving to OpenGL, and demonstrated great improvements on some systems. However, we decided that there isn't wide enough OpenGL support for some systems, particular Linux-based systems to allow us to make this move. On many systems, moving to OpenGL would make Wesnoth unplayable.
