title: Fastest Image Resizing in .NET
body: <p>I need the <strong>fastest library to resize full size images (some up to 9MB in size) to multiple sizes</strong>. </p>
  
  <p>Here's the scenerio:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>User uploads a photo</li>
  <li>a FileSystemWatcher is running in a service watching the drop location (on a SAN)</li>
  <li>When a new photo appears, the service will create 4 versions of the image at full JPEG quality:
  
  <ul>
  <li>100px wide</li>
  <li>320px wide</li>
  <li>640px wide</li>
  <li>1280 wide</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'm not fussed if the library is C/C++ or anything else for that matter, as long as I can tap into it via .NET it's cool.</p>
  
  <p>Also this will need to scale to possibly 1,000 <strong>active</strong> users.</p>
  
  <p>Let me know your thoughts :)</p>
