I would leave the anti-aliasing off while slewing unless the timing
is thoroughly tested for all the many components.  The response seemed
very sluggish when I enabled anti-aliasing during slewing just now and
the map was zoomed out and the coordinate grid was on.

Perhaps we should give users the option to turn on/off anti-aliasing
while slewing in 4.1 but since we need to lock in this setting for now, 
I suggest we cater to people with slower machines.
