As I said: 150, 200 do not strike me as scalings in percent.

That the CPU needs to do an extra couple of cycles (convert scaling to
pixel) to make things easier on humans - that's why mankind invented it.

Forgive me, but I will discontinue the discussion.

I think I made it clear what I think is (in my view) absurd and have no wish
to antagonize anyone by continuing to argue for something which should be
obvious and plain.
