I remember debating this with you at Wroclaw. Is it more costly also in situations where symbols are simple and have 1 layer each only? In the case of multilayer symbols I would say 99% of the time I want symbol levels on. I do quite a lot of training and the symbol levels is something that a) new users struggle to comprehend and b) gets forgotten as a detail after the training and then people come back to me asking why their maps look funny. I think from a user friendliness point of view, there would be a lot gained by enabling it by default (performance issues notwithstanding). Maybe we should add it as another item in our endless options panel (which I will reorganise in Lisbon)?
