Let them have different numbers of pixels per frame.

This is not going to work. You would need hundreds of frames per second,
which is a waste of energy because the human eye (and the monitor) is
limited to about 50 frames per second. And you won't succeed in having
much more than that if you want a scrolling engine (speaking from
experience: http://pybrian.sf.net)
