@twe: Read the last paragraph of the "Performance Notes" section, in which I mention that we'll be updating the API docs accordingly (for JDK 6 hopefully). It's only been in the last couple years that we've really started to notice this as a pain point for developers (as many more folks seem to be doing image scaling everywhere in their apps these days). I'm sorry I don't have a time machine. And I'm going to try to avoid the bait, but clearly it is not our goal to keep things "secret." We do our best to get the information out there.
