I suggest you look at the catmull-romm code used in GIMP image scaling functions. It is a spline fit to four points that is probably better than "averaging" . It is pretty light on computation time so achieves good results with minimum overhead. It allows interpolation anywhere between two points so does not introduce extra pixelisation artifacts. The only downside I'm aware of is it tends to overshoot near abrupt changes since the mathematical definition of the spline does not constrain it to the region of the points which define it but does dictate that it pass through each one. Near a step change it will exactly fit each point either side of the step but over shoot around those points.
