<pre>I don't think adding this special case is worthwhile for a 1% improvement in a
small number of files.
If we do find architectures where floating point is slower there is an integer
only implementation of the scaling I did in <a class="bz_bug_link

for all images instead of special casing only some images.
Another option for faster scaling would be to use a library like pixman that
has optimized versions for different architectures eg SSE2 on x86. The downside
is pixman only supports 8 bits per component RGB and has some limitations on
image sizes so we would still need the poppler version for other the cases it
doesn't handle.</pre>
