Yes -  it makes sense to focus on the situation where the highest 
precision output is required, but that doesn't make it sensible to 
(needlessly ?) compromise the way lower resolution output is handled.

We produce a lot of reports which get printed and they look very nice. 
But for every one we print, 10 are probably downloaded and of those, we 
hope most are read on screen. Low resolution PDF rendering is therefore 
quite important -  at least to us.

Does this mean it can never be changed or made switchable ?
