Cairo supports antialiasing when rendering but can be slow when set to

Currently, GAL is initialised to NONE (i.e. off). This causes

Variable netBuffer contains all NET_INFO items, whereas max_netcode

It is possible for an async thread to simply be deferred if not

This minimizes the thread usage, particularly during online actions such

UpdateRatsnest: Minimized the number of atomics by utilizing future

Rather than forcing each thread to iterate over the full nets list to
find the dirty items, we collect the dirty items first before asking the
