Normally imagemagick is very fast.
Thanks for giving me feedback! This shows me that I'm on the right way.
Actually, the covers are scaled. The fullscreen display is just some eye-candy (looks especially good in portrait mode). The covers are scaled like before by gdkpixbuf with bilinear filtering. It was more of a CPU/thread starvation issue that slowed it down. The N900 is not very powerful in this regard, esp. when disk IO is involved.
