how it should be rendered when you zoom in or out. Gimp renders the document
at a given scale, and does not re-render it at any time -- it's not a
vector-based viewer but an pixel-based image editor.
GIMPs failure to display the image smoothly is because it takes a
shortcut when zooming out of an image, it just uses one of the values
from one of the image pixels occupying a single display pixel instead
of averaging all that are contributing.
This has been done for speed/ease of implementation, at some point in
the future this will change.
