That's not the point. The problem is that depending on the original
size the result of scaling will vary. Worst case is usually when
increasing the image size.

Why not, there are many image improving algorithms that can produce
reasonable results under most conditions.

I see no reason not to improve SC in this area for those that do not
feel like doing it manually or do not have the knowledge or time
(personally I do some photography and spend enough time as it is in
raw-editors and the Gimp etc.). 

I do think that if done it should be optional. Especially for those who
use external means of providing high-quality artwork should not be
subject to SC potentially messing up their art.

Edit: But really, the improvement part is far ahead. More realistically
I would like to see improvements in the way SC presents whatever quality
art the user provides cf. my previous post.
