Hopefully, creating a .net image with PixelFormat = 8bppIndexed would
be faster, I haven't tested it though. It is possible to use
BitmapData/LockBitmap directly, GDALReadDirect.cs uses this approach.
In this case the palette should also be copied into the .net image.

I think DataSet.GetGeoTransform could retrieve the transormation
parameters as an array of floats (array length is 6)
