Doesn't AA make the same thing?
computing more points just as if image size was bigger and interpolating
them just as an image editor when you reduce resolution?

AA tries to do it in smart way (compute as mych extra rays - supersamples 
per one final pixel as needed for this pixel), but sometimes this adaptive 
method gives wrong results, therefore using it *and* double resoulution is 
the fastest way to get rid of heavy aliasing.

What do you mean by "wrong results"? Could you please post a simple example
scene (and AA settings) where AA gives those wrong results? I'd be very
interest to see it.

Hmm it seems that +am2 works exacly as resizing, *but* this behaviour is 
not as it is described in docs. (+am2 results in non-adaptive antialiasing, 
always maximum number of supersamples are used even if we are rendering an 
empty black scene)

I think it does follow the docs description - if not, you should maybe
report this at p.d.i. You can't see the adaptation with +a0.0 as all
subsamples are calculated - as written in docs. With non-zero threshold the
adaptation kicks in. I think that is correct functioning. If I misunderstood
your point, please corect me.
