at the SVG  F2F today, someone from NVidia gave a demo on rendering paths
on the GPU.
You can find more info here: http://developer.nvidia.com/nv-path-rendering
and some presentations here:
http://developer.nvidia.com/nv-path-rendering-videos

We were told that they're working on getting their renderer as a backend to
a browser. Once this happens, we can run your tests again and look at the
results.
The demo applications use FSAA but browsing through their documentation,
they mention that their algorithm could also do aliasing with shaders.
