Visually they're equivalent but operationally they're quite different.
 If the effect you need is a 2D scale, you need not involve all the 3D
machinations, which involve uploading the texture to VRAM, applying a
3D translation, and then applying a projection transform back.  Not to
mention you have better control over the resampling in Quartz.
