wx.GCDC is simply a reimplementaion of the wx.DC API on top of 
wx.GraphicsContext.  So while it will give you the anti-aliased drawing 
for free while using a DC API, it will likely be slower because it has 
to recreate paths and other objects on the fly for any operations that 
need them.  On the other hand using the GC API directly gives 
opportunities to optimize by caching these objects.
