Hi Damien, I've tested your patch with anti-aliasing limited to the 3D view. At least on my system it looks really nice, and helps readability too, especially on busy scenes with lots of visible edges. Compare these images of a cage object:

On my Mac laptop with a 9600M GT I haven't been able to detect any slowdown when using AA, even when using Blender's benchmark timer. I'll have to do more thorough testing on heavier scenes to reveal any potential slowdown.
