Comment(by martinl):

 Replying to [comment:5 glynn]:

 > another is to modify the cairo driver to down-sample the data itself
 (this avoids the issue that a source region of 32767x32767 will require 4
 GiB of memory to store the surface regardless of the output resolution).

 I was thinking about something similar, btw, is there any display driver
 in GRASS which already doing down-sampling? Thanks for any hint.
