Sorry for the bit of unrelated question in this thread, but if scaling
isn't needed as the raw stream is in the right size, why does it make any
difference in this case? It is an uncompressed video stream that has to be
given to the display. Ok, the stream is y8, so each value has to be given
three times to be RGB, but is there anything else that could be
accelerated in such a case?
