This would require either patching ImageMagick to use less memory when scaling
such images (which may ultimately require patching libjpeg) or switching to a
different image scaler.

In principle, there's no reason why downscaling an image in any format couldn't
be done using space (at most) proportional only to the size of the target
image, not of the source.  However, this requires being able to read and decode
the source image data without buffering it all in memory.  For progressive
JPEGs this would mean scaling each pass as it is read, and only combining them
after scaling.

I'm not aware of any existing image scaler that would do this, but then, I
haven't really looked, either.  If anyone knows of a program that does this and
otherwise fits our needs (i.e. open source, usable from the command line,
actively maintained, etc.), please tell us so we can evaluate it.

It would also be even more useful to have such a scaler for PNG images.
