  Even though the idea and theory behind the new antialiasing methods sound
great, if I'm completely honest, the example pictures are not really
convincing. Although they do a somewhat better job in many cases, they still
don't do it so much better.
  The test scene 6 is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Even
though the description of the new methods sound like they would make the
image a lot better, in practice they don't perform radically better than
the existing methods in practice. The graininess is still there, and I don't
really see any considerable improvement with the new methods.
