   Not sure.  It depends heavily on the system setup though, because XFT 
may/may not be used, the video card, the font, etc...

   Do you want me to finish up the new renderer now and hook it into KstLabel?  
I was thinking to write a parser in yacc and "compile" labels just as is done 
with equations.  Then we have no string ops during updates.
