For the moment I am more than happy with the overplotting method.
It works very fast and my data sizes are reduced from:
        old             new
data:  ~18MB        ->  41  kB
image: ~33MB (svg)  ->  209 kB (svg) and 7kB (png)

Unfortunately the png has the problem with the blurry lables for the axes...

I'll check that option later. Sounds like I could use this for many things...

Thanks again,
