I tested that. It looks terrible. There's a nasty one-pixel jump, and 
its amazing how much I felt I did not want to see that "rough" image at 
all. In addition, it's not just slowness. It's memory. Antialiasing 
requires four times the standard memory allocation. It will crash some 
machines if the size is too large. You really have to know your system 
to utilize antialiasing. So it's fine for an option, but as a default, 
I'm not so sure.
