Description: avoid processing-intensive painting of high number of tiny dashes
 When stroking a dashed path, an unnecessary amount of processing would
 be spent if there is a huge number of dashes visible, e.g. because of
 scaling. Since the dashes are too small to be individually visible
 anyway, just replace with a semi-transparent solid line for such
 cases.
