[quote]And in the "print to PDF/PostScript/HTML/SVG" case,[/quote] A) I don't know why this case matters at all. Can you point me to a single example of people rendering their entire desktop output to PDF?

AFAIK MacOSX uses PDF as its display language but it is accelerated by the GPU hardware so PDF is not mutually exclusive with using the GPU. In fact I don't understand this segue at all, what possible reason would rendering a PDF or HTML document cause you to not be able to use hardware accelerated graphics.
