That is pretty much what the PR I was referring to does:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1040

It makes it so that the behavior of both plot_surface and plot_wireframe is
the same in this respect.  So, by default, the rstride and cstride would be
1% of the size of your data array.  This would make the default for the
recent example be 1, therefore showing every point.  I wonder if a
logarithmic default would make sense to better handle large data arrays?

Thoughts?
