Use the SetBitmapScalingMode method on a UIElement or DrawingGroup descendant that is animating a bitmap.
When animating the scale of any bitmap, the default high-quality image re-sampling algorithm can sometimes consume sufficient system resources to cause frame rate degradation, effectively causing animations to stutter. By setting the BitmapScalingMode property of the RenderOptions object to LowQuality, you can create a smoother animation when scaling a bitmap.
The following example shows how to set the BitmapScalingMode for an Image object.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
