The variant that I use is 

<match target="font">
        <test qual="any" name="size" compare="less">
                <double>14</double>
        </test>
        <test qual="any" name="size" compare="more">
                <double>8</double>
        </test>
        <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
                <bool>false</bool>
        </edit>
</match>

Ie. antialias, but only when the size is below 8 or above 14. This is
an approximation on what windows does. Windows uses extra information
in the fonts about when to antialias that is unfortunately not
available though FreeType.

There are various other possibilities that look good, including
"antialias, but turn off hinting". As you found out, having *both*
bytecode interpreter and antialiasing for normal screen-sized fonts is
just about the worst thing you can do to your fonts.
