Just a far shot: if I understand the blending process correctly, the
images are blended at different resolutions, so that low frequencies
are treated differently to high frequencies. This would imply that the
parts of the blending process which work at high resolution (high
frequencies) don't need so much lateral context and could be parcelled
off to be blended somewhere else, whereas the blending at lower
frequencies could be done at reduced resolution locally, needing much
less processing power. Splitting the images up with something like a
DWT and then treating the different levels individually might be an
option.
