POV-Ray itself outputs every pixel (also the code supports buffering a
line), but GUI frontends tend to buffer several pixels or a whole line
because it takes a lot of time to draw many individual pixels via the
high-level interfaces used on platforms that support a GUI.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter, and you could actually have checked
yourself really easily ;-)
