In theory, for equivalent output, no. That is the optimisations we make
at the pixman level are based on the geometry, so if the rendering was
already pixel-aligned with CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT then you should hit
exactly the same paths as CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_NONE. Where ANTIALIAS_NONE can
have a big impact is in the generation of geometry, either using a
faster scanline rasteriser or in simplifying the input geometry to
bypass rasterisation altogether.
