For one, you could supersample, and then downsample when rendering, at some possibly noticeable memory and CPU cost. These may both be ameliorated if the GPU can be used, of course. My understanding of Flash (vague as it is) is that it creates a display list even when you make what appear to be immediate-mode calls, which in theory could allow seamless edges with AA and without supersampling. I'm not enough of an expert to say what it is doing for sure though. Side note: turning off AA and supersampling would be something that Web apps could do for themselves if canvas had a way to disable AA. - Maciej
