This is correct, '+a0.0' will supersample all pixels so it will be 
really slow but you will also get good results of course.  For better 
performance it is often a good idea to use adaptive antialiasing and a 
threshold slightly above 0.  To avoid persistent artefacts you can try a 
fairly strong jitter.
