Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:6 martinl]:

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

 The PNG driver resamples each row and stores it directly in the image.

 The PS driver writes the data to the PostScript file as-is (after
 conversion to hex). This can potentially result in huge files, but it
 doesn't affect memory requirements (PostScript "streams" image data into
 the frame-buffer from the input file; it doesn't store it in memory prior
 to rendering).
