I just tested, and even invisible areas are composited when the image is 
loaded for the first time, meaning that a 1600x1200 image gives us a 
projection with an extent of 

krita: Rendering onto projection RGB/Alpha (8 bits/channel), 1664, 1216

I'm now experimenting with a smaller projection of just the size a single 
render rect.
