I am sure there were some reasons we did NOT render to QPixmaps
directly, to do with handling alpha (extensively used in our SVG
graphics) and to do with speed and fidelity of rendering (hence
use of QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied).

Do you recall the details of that design decision, Mauricio?
