Shouldn't the low-quality interpolation only kick in when it's on a low performance device and not for everyone even it they're on a well performing computer? Firefox doesn't do it, and Safari didn't used to do it. It just seems a step back in quality. It also seems to affect javascript based resizing where it didn't before. Also it doesn't seem to matter whether it's a rapid resize or not. I can barely move the mouse and it still looks bad for no reason.

Go to http://shadowbox-js.com/ and scroll down and click on the Tiger image and the resize your browser to smaller than the tiger picture. Before it was a beautiful thing, scaling smoothly and cleanly. Now it's just a chunky uglier version of itself, when performance-wise there was no problem before. Just a step back in quality in my opinion. It just seems as we're moving further into an era where javascript and css manipulations of graphics are becoming more prevalent to throw out quality that was already in place and feature-matched at least some of the other browsers.

The reason I included the resize method here is because all the aliasing issues happened during the same timeframe so I figured they were all related and all needed fixing.
