[gdal-dev] Availability of Lanczos and cubicspline in gdaladdo

[Benoit Andrieu]

That sounds like bad news for my dreams ! :(

I was planning to make a try with IPP on some parts of GDAL (warping, geometry rasterization).

Did you make some profiling ? I would be interested to know the results !

Benoît Andrieu
