Sort of, yes. The problems with the current mosaic preview are that it
is not adaptive, and that the mosaic samples are wasted in the end,
since the final pass goes all from scratch. Furthermore, mosaic previews
are of no use when you want to make a test *animation* render. Where
mosaic previews are based on the idea that you can abort the render when
you have seen enough details, the superpixel antialiasing render is
meant to finish rendering, and it only uses samples where there actually
*are* details. All in all a rather big difference...
