I think the only way is to upscale your arrays before calling image() or levelplot(), maybe with a simple fortran or C routine who scales the original to a 450x450 (mean of 2x2 pixel blocks, if your values are summable). Or you just do a sample() of your original array, provided it has a certain degree of continuity. I very often have to produce 512x512 images, and it doesn't seem to be any particularly intensive procedure; I mean, it is done within seconds.
