Thanks for the introduction - some of us have read your proposal and
are quite interested in what you will do. I'm not sure if the
different approaches you mention take this account, but perhaps your
approach can also take into account the pixel resolution of the render
device - since there is never any reason to draw more than one of the
features vertices per pixel, and if a feature is completely contained
within a pixel it can be simply drawn as a coloured pixel. Perhaps
this approach is less efficient than simply rendering everything but
it may be work looking into.

Optimisation of our render routines will certainly be a welcome
addition to QGIS!
