Are you using a nice anti-aliased renderer to do the pixel pushing? 
Something like AGG ported to D would be cool.  It seems to be aiming at 
about the right level -- cross platform, only knows how to render to 
bitmaps internally.  I know there are folks using AGG for server side 
image gen (if not directly then at least thorough Matplotlib, which uses 
AGG as its renderer).
