Claim One:
1. A method comprising: determining whether an image stored in at least a portion of a system memory that is accessible via a system bus is a static image or a non-static image; retrieving, with a graphics processing unit (GPU), the static image from the portion of the system memory via the system bus when the image is determined to be the static image; scaling, with the GPU, the static image to generate a reduced spatial resolution version of the static image; storing, with the GPU, the reduced spatial resolution version of the static image in a local memory of the GPU that is external to the system memory; retrieving, with a display processor coupled to a display, the reduced spatial resolution version of the static image from the local memory; rescaling, with the display processor, the reduced spatial resolution version of the static image to generate a rescaled image; and outputting, with the display processor, the rescaled image to the display for presentation.
