  Actually scaling icon by integer factor should not have noticable
impact on quality.  It's just drawing 4 or 8 pixels instead of one.
The icons you are talking about were not only scaled, but also
blurred (filtered?). That's blurring which is degrading quality.
  First step to improvement would be to disable blurring.  Using
appropiate scaling algorithm (like 2xSai) would help even more.
