How about making the resolution commensurate with that of the display
itself?  Monitor density has not increased for lay folk, only those
willing to spend prodigally on display hardware.

Compounding that, larger images will consume greater quantities of disk
space and X server memory.  Bear in mind that /tmp is customarily small;
only 4 GiB on my system, with 1.8GiB in use, whereof /tmp/docview1000
consumes 971 MiB.
