There really is no way around this, unless they've added extra hardware that isn't in the Glo to help the CPU with rendering the screen.

Additionally, Kobo's marketing calls the Aura's processor "20 [or 25, according to some news sources] percent faster than other readers." Because of the ambiguous wording, this percentage could include or disinclude the Glo.
Probably doesn't include the Glo, instead referring to the 800MHz Touch.
