Ya encontré una función que reescala con un rendimiento infinitamente mejor:
Código PHP:
/**
* This methog resizes an image by resampling its pixels
* @param src The image to be resized
* @return The resized image
*/
private Image resizeImage(Image src) {
int srcWidth = src.getWidth();
int srcHeight = src.getHeight();
Image tmp = Image.createImage(screenWidth, srcHeight);
Graphics g = tmp.getGraphics();
int ratio = (srcWidth << 16) / screenWidth;
int pos = ratio/2;
//Horizontal Resize
for (int x = 0; x < screenWidth; x++) {
g.setClip(x, 0, 1, srcHeight);
g.drawImage(src, x - (pos >> 16), 0, Graphics.LEFT | Graphics.TOP);
pos += ratio;
}
Image resizedImage = Image.createImage(screenWidth, screenHeight);
g = resizedImage.getGraphics();
ratio = (srcHeight << 16) / screenHeight;
pos = ratio/2;
//Vertical resize
for (int y = 0; y < screenHeight; y++) {
g.setClip(0, y, screenWidth, 1);
g.drawImage(tmp, 0, y - (pos >> 16), Graphics.LEFT | Graphics.TOP);
pos += ratio;
}
return resizedImage;
}//resize image
