Description
In the latest build, 7.1.12.13550888671 (64bit), enabling FXAA or SMAA divides the performance by 2 on my macbook Pro M2 (it used to have a negligible impact).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the performance regression on a MacBook Pro M2 using viewer build 7.1.12.13550888671, with FXAA and SMAA enabled and disabled. Review the linked Canny bug report and pull request 3889 for prior investigation. Done means identifying and correcting the roughly 2x performance loss while preserving the affected anti-aliasing options.
