I can see why you'd want that, using OpenGL is _insanely_ much faster with 
this 3000x3000 image (loading time 22s -> 10s, zooming out to minimal zoom 
level is _very smooth_). But I guess for much more insanely large images that 
even opengl would start to become slow, with all the transferring of data 
taking place?
In any case, keeping the OpenGL path separate for this is a good idea, it 
seems.
