The backend could take care of that through caching a high-res 
rendering and scale that to produce smaller versions. This would 
positively fly after generating the rendering cache. The texture
scaling will screw up text rendering though, so it'd need to be
turned on explicitly for the SVGs in question.

But, is this a job for the backend or for application code?
