Ideal would be an subpixel antialiased line algorithm; but something like that is surely slower (who knows, perhaps that makes sense with a pixel shader in the future?).

I'd guess Cairo rendered textures would be a good mid term solution.
Sooner or later all the Cairo will get HW-accelerated and all the hard work may not be needed. You probably have read almost all the stuff already, but http://www.antigrain.com/ has much valuable how and why.

It's great that you are working on the problem, but as this is a very general problem that everyone wants to get solved, some cooperation with related projects may ease your work. The only con would be less learning ;)
