Out of curiosity, do you know if that's hidpi-style 'scale everything'
scaling, or is it just font size scaling?

I read somewhere that Apple came up with a trick for doing 1.5x hidpi
scaling - they just scale everything 3x in software then tell the GPU
to scale it back down by 2x on output. Which is a neat wheeze. Be
trickier to do 1.25x that way, though.
