Unlikely. I rather suspect antialiasing. You can reduce the
-dTextAlphaBits value to 2 for a somewhat better performance at some
loss of quality. Leaving it off will make the stuff definitely more
ugly, though, albeit quite faster.

dvipng works with colors and antialiasing, and it is very fast as
compared to GhostScript according to its main author Jan-Åke. I am
really mad at not yet having the preview-latex infrastructure
finished for making use of it. Only problem up to now is that it has
just integral shrink factors, but once I have got it in, I will take
a stab of changing this, too.

Uh, good question. Why would that be?
