the community is very excited about text-rendering: http://www.aestheticallyloyal.com/public/optimize-legibility/

However it's very plausible people will do  ` body  { text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; } `
Due to what dave hyatt indicated here http://webk.it/6136#c3 I would suspect that is not a wise choice from a performance perspective.

The way that Firefox implements this feature is to enable optimizeLegibility for all text at and above 20px; 
I think that strikes a nice balance of making the text look beautiful when its large, but doesn't go overboard and sacrifice performance.

The MDC has a demo page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-rendering
