I don't see how that really helps; as far as I know, a full rgba array 
has to be passed into agg.  What *does* help is using uint8 from start 
to finish.  It might also be possible to use some smart downsampling 
before generating the rgba array, but the uint8 route seems to me the 
first thing to attack.
