Ah, OK.

With the current implementation, changing from an 8-bit depth alpha
mask (antialiasing) to a 1-bit mask (no antialiasing) might save some
memory, but should not impact rendering speed. The same calculations
will be performed in both cases.

On the other hand, independent of the depth of the alpha buffer, you
can use the tolerance value to adjust a quality/speed tradeoff, (for
curve approximations anyway).

It's possible to force libic rendering by using
XrSurfaceCreateForImage rather than
XrSurfaceCreateForDrawable.

Though, for now, if you want to get the result to a drawable, (or to
some other non-X thingy), you'll have to do the XPutImage or
equivalent yourself.

And, I should mention that text support is totally broken right now
when using libic. (And it looks like XrShowImage is broken right now
in either libic or Render mode).
