My numbers for warping single images or small mosaics with cubic spline option
show about 12 GB/hour. However, I have tried sometimes to warp tens of gigabytes
of imagery through .vrt file to a BigTIFF and that process progressed very very
slow. I need to admit that I used ER Mapper and ERDAS Imagine and never bothered
to investigate further what was going wrong when building mosaic with gdal. I
have lot of imagery easily available and I volunteer for testing is somebody has
suggestions for better gdalwarp parameters or has new program versions to try.
