A good old trick is to work with intermediate images: resize the image using the Bilinear method and produce an intermediate image that is about 25% larger than the final image. Then you can downscale the intermediate image using Lanczos.
This should give a much better performance than working just with Lanczos, especially for large downscaling ratios (e.g. 10 Megapixel JPEG -> 1024x768) . Image quality shouldn't be affected too much by this method.
