  I don't understand how speed affects antialiasing quality. You speak like
a faster program would make a better antialiasing.
  Of course a smaller antialiasing threshold takes longer to render, but the
result will be identical independently of how fast the program or the
computer is.
  If you had said "a faster program allows you to use a higher quality
antialiasing in the same render time", that would have been more accurate.
  And besides, I don't remember seeing many images with crappy antialiasing
in the IRTC.
