The main weaknesses of "our" methods are:

--haloing (but they have less haloing than Lanczos)

--aliasing (but IBFNBQH shows less, although still more than Lanczos, which is 
more blurry)

--memory usage (an temporary int16 "copy" of the input image has to be created)

Although I have hunches, I still do not understand perfectly how icc profiles 
affect enlargement artifacts. (This being said, a monotone method, like nearest 
neighbour, bilinear or non-interpolatory B-splines, should
not be affected much by gamma obliviousness; bicubic, Lanczos, EANBQH and 
IBFNBQH are NOT monotone.) 

This is something I'll have to experiment with.

Thank you for your comments,

Nicolas Robidoux
