I don't think so. Ross' uses Quartz drawing primitives for each line segment that are apparently terribly ineffecient (my acroread takes forever to render them). I build the lines using PDF operators in one piece and append it directly to each page. I can save another factor of two by using PDF transforms and the DR's integer pixel coordinates instead of my already scaled floats that are typically twice as long...
