Er, a 30% performance loss for a common case of minifying/magnifying
an image really doesn't seem acceptable to me.. if it was 3-5%, then
sure, but 30% is really very high. Can we figure out what's the cause
of the slowdown? Are we adding more function call overhead, missing
some optimizations, or what?
