Mac OS X handles this by rendering everything at some insane resolution and the scaling just before displaying

That only applies for non-integer scales. If you run at clean 2x or 3x everything is drawn at native scale, unless the app doesn’t support HiDPI in which case it’s drawn at 1x and scaled up.
This explains why non integer looks so good.
