[Qgis-developer] Suppress rendering of small features

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

As I understand, the feature to suppress small/large features would be
optional.

Another interesting thing would be to simplify features when you zoom
out. Maybe simplifying would be quicker than rendering thousands of
unnecessary vertices. Optionally this could also be "outsourced" to the
database - many databases support simplification on the db level. I
don't know if it would really speed up things. One would have to test.
