As I understand it, the outline rasterizer is mainly intended for drawing contour lines on maps and that kind of thing. I think the idea of the 1.5x threshold is to Maxim-ize the number of vertices that can be skipped, without the result becoming too noticeable. Perhaps the threshold should be configurable...
