It is important for us that the entire cell have the same colour.
Is this what you get with shading='flat'?
Sometimes shading='faceted' is useful. You should be able to do this
faster by simply blasting an array of lines over top of shading='flat'
than by drawing each individual quadrilateral.
Note that I found 'faceted' to be much nicer when the lines are drawn
with transparency. Without transparency, a large array turns the
entire image black --- not very useful.

faceting (which Eric hates but others may care about)? Since it is
orders of magnitudes faster, we could have a pcolor_faceted which
pcolor calls the old function if shading='faceted'. Of course the two
functions would return different types (image vs patch collection)
which is potentially a bit confusing.... We could play with adding
faceting to images....
