  May I ask what "relaxing the requirement" means in this case?

  A 1/25th portion of the image is much smaller than a 1/10th, meaning
that you have to actually calculate a partial render of a much larger
image than previously (2.5 times larger), and thus the "zoom" factor
of the detail view is accordinly bigger as well.
  This certainly sounds like a harder requirement, not an easier one.
