Gimp already does it, just use a pressure sensitive device and
activate Size, so you would get a range from original to small and it
does not seem to be slow. OTOH, some find the current method or its
parameters a bit low quality. Control of size is more an interface
issue, just provide a control to go from original down to near zero
(remember subpixel methods).

Complain about speed vs quality:

And dupish (just adds rotation):
