High quality downscaling is inherently much slower than the point
sampling that cairo used to do. For this reason, and because the names
CAIRO_FILTER_NEAREST and CAIRO_FILTER_BILINEAR really are names of
specific algorithms, I always thought that the downscaling should only
be used after being enabled with new API.
