Comment (by AlbertCahalan):

 Let the user change to 600x450 or 400x300 via the Sugar, causing the X
 server to do simple integer scaling. That should be very fast. (just
 duplicate/triplicate lines and columns) Web pages are somewhat less likely
 to break with a different screen size than if you go changing fonts and
 images alone. (JavaScript and flash would need scaling, etc. -- just do
 the whole screen)

 As an extra benefit, it would help more than just the web browser. Getting
 apps to run in low resolution is often much easier than getting them to
 look right-sized via the "proper" way, and anyway there often won't be
 enough CPU power to drive the full 1200x900 at a decent speed.
