Let's not start assuming that GPU acceleration is available everywhere. It's
going to be a few years before GPU acceleration is widely available on mobile devices,
and different browsers have different levels of support for GPU acceleration.

However, I think that scaling the images is probably the most sensible solution
to this particular problem.
