Right. DP is not used in the rendering engine
because it's so slow that trying to use it slows down things compared
to drawing the geometries as they are (as opposed to the cheap
simplification algorithm used now, which is an improvement).

I asked about smoothing because in the GIS literature smoothing usually
involves adding points to make lines appear smoother, or, if you want,
more accurate that they really are, because the process adds details
instead of removing them:
