Because the scene painting view is a snapshot of the scene view, you can set its display resolution. With lower resolutions, you will see pixelated effects, but the strokes will render more quickly when you refresh the view.
To change the resolution of the scene painting view, select the desired resolution from the Resolution menu. The final render is not affected by these settings.
