It is a matter of speed, and I think of some hard limits in agg on the number of points it can handle. So far, every time someone has pointed out a problem--a case in which the simplification code makes a perceptible difference in the appearance of the plot--Mike D. has found a way to fix it. I haven't followed this thread closely, but have you verified the problem with recent mpl, and have you provided a minimal script to trigger it?
