4.  WebKit may need to do path culling (past some certain size).
Just stop walking the render tree once under a pixel in final size.
CG does its own culling before sending commands to the graphics card,
but webkit is doing extra work by walking the rendering tree past a
certain point.

This could make rendering large SVG files much faster.

Changed component to SVG, so it shows up in my all-svg-bugs search.
