Tests:

Scaling from a large canvas area to a small canvas area
$destContext.drawImage($sourceCanvas, 0, 0, $sourceWidth, $sourceHeight, 0, 0, 100, 100); // Force the drawImage call to be evaluated within this benchmark code: $destContext.getImageData(0, 0, 1, 1);
Scaling from a large canvas area to a medium canvas area
$destContext.drawImage($sourceCanvas, 0, 0, $sourceWidth, $sourceHeight, 0, 0, 600, 600); // Force the drawImage call to be evaluated within this benchmark code: $destContext.getImageData(0, 0, 1, 1);
Scaling from a large canvas area to a large canvas area (no scaling)
$destContext.drawImage($sourceCanvas, 0, 0, $sourceWidth, $sourceHeight, 0, 0, $sourceWidth, $sourceHeight); // Force the drawImage call to be evaluated within this benchmark code: $destContext.getImageData(0, 0, 1, 1);
