This would probably be causing some loss in quality in smaller images
(S::Utils::GDResizer around line 270):
Code:
--------------------
# Don't use source artwork < 100, as this results in blurry
images
if ( !$args{original} || ($args{width} >= 100 && $args{height}
>= 100) ) {
$args{original} = $resized_ref;
}
--------------------
These lines would cause the resized to use the previously resized image
as the source for the next smaller icon. Eg. if the scanner pre-cached
150px versions, it would take that image instead of your 2000px version
to pre-cache the 50px icon.
In order to check whether you can get better quality you could change
the 100 in the condition to eg. 1000. Or remove the second part of the
condition after the ||.
