The anti-aliasing mode 2 may also be used here, but you need to increase 
the recursion level to 4 or 5 and reduce the threshold to 0.1 or less. 
The result won't be as good as with mode 3, but will probably be a 
little faster.

Another option is to use a small amount of focal blur. Make the aperture 
less than 1/1000 of the distance to the focal plane. This will force a 
fair amount of oversampling.
