Ah, I see my mistake now. Roman Gilg already pointed that out, but I did not
understand it then.

I just assumed it would be scaled up. Downscaling obviously is the better
approach to implementation, since no information has to be interpolated, so
that makes sense.

This renders the different algorithm comparisons I posted rather pointless.
However, I read the the NoHalo algorithms were actually developed for
downscaling in particular and that blurriness can also happen when scaling
down. So the general idea that there might be better algorithms still seems to
be valid.
